How very sad – are our other towns and villages suffering the loss of birds too?
According to BirdTrack, run by BTO in partnership with RSPB, BirdWatch Ireland, the Scottish Ornithologists’ Club and the Welsh Ornithological Society
“Since 1970, 12 breeding bird species have been lost from the Haslemere area. A further eight species have declined in abundance since at least 1990 when we first started measuring abundance in atlases.”
Cllr Terry Weldom said:
This is really interesting and useful (and depressing)information. You can look at birds in your area (by postcode), and those disappearing, declining, increasing, and colonising.
Have a cup of tea and lie down after you have clicked on this link – here at the Waverley Web, we did!
Cllr Terry Weldon is a Lib Dem Haslemere Town Councillor first elected in 2019 and recently re-elected for another four years.
