Fleetwood Bird Observatory
Although not an official bird observatory affiliated to the BTO, the Fleetwood peninsula has been operated like a bird observatory for many years. Migration monitoring through sea watching, ringing, searching for grounded migrants, and monitoring of visible migration takes place on a daily basis. The purpose of this blog is to summarise the birds occuring at Fleetwood Bird Observatory. Commentary will be kept to a minimum, and no reference to individual sites within the observatory recording area will be made. Fleetwood Bird Observatory is operated by two dedicated patch workers, Ian Gardner and Seumus Eaves, with various help and input from other members of Fylde Ringing Group. A range of habitats can be found within the recording area including coastal grassland, scrub, sand dunes, shingle, open sea, saltmarsh, reedbeds, hedgerows, broad-leaved woodland, mudflats and freshwater pools. Over 260 bird species have been recorded at the observatory, and with increased coverage in recent years over 200 species are recorded annually.
