Recording birds in the Barnsley area.

The task of  the YNU bird recorder for South Yorkshire is very time consuming (and rewarding).
At a recent meeting with the BTO at Old Moor it was decided that using the BirdTrack system operated by the BTO would considerable lighten this workload.
This would take the form of producing maps for the most common 100 or so species recorded in the area, rather than the laborious task of writing an account for each species.
In order to achieve this, it would mean entering your records directly on to this system.
This would not only benefit the YNU, but also the BTO, and ornithology generally.
The system is easy to use and would allow you to collate and update your 'patch' records - all viewable at a glance.
The BirdTrack team will be willing to answer any queries you may have.
I would therefore asked you to seriously consider using this website when recording your sightings in the Barnsley area, South Yorkshire and Yorkshire as a whole.
