NON-STOP BIRDING REVIEW 2010

It was Non-Stop all year with developments and events on all fronts.- local patch project, foreign patch project and music/art project.

BEDDINGTON FARMLANDS
On the Beddington Farmlands Front a record 164 bird species were recorded with highlights including Pacific Golden Plover, Common Cranes, Gannets and mass winter migrations. The restoration programme progressed well with landscaping and reed bed planting. Beddington birders took part in London wide bird races, skycraper city birding and led plenty of bird tours welcoming more and more visitors to the farmlands. In 2011 new tours, workshops and activities are in the pipeline. Watch this space. Beddington Farmlands review here:
