Bird Atlas 2007-2011

 

Arran  - Winter Records to October 2009

 

There are three sections to this part;

 

Historical

 

Material extracted from “An Atlas of Arran Vertebrates” by J. A. Gibson, Chairman, Clyde Area Branch, Scottish Wildlife Trust with his permission. It was published by the Arran Nature Centre, Brodick in 1975.

 

 

Winter Data

 

A series of tables showing the species recorded through Timed Tetrad Visits, Roving Records and BirdTrack entries, for all tetrads around each of the settlements on Arran and in each 10x10 kilometre square on Arran. These provide a complete a picture of each area’s winter records to date.

Winter Maps

 

The attachment in this section gives a winter distribution map for each species recorded in Arran in the first two winters of Bird Atlas 2007-2011.

Please note both in the data and maps: Confidential species are NOT shown. This is in accordance with the Rare Breeding Birds Panel where details of certain species cannot be made public.

 

To try to ensure that the records forArran are as accurate and comprehensive as possible over the coming winter, November – February, please use this information to help fill in the “gaps” or identify any “missing species”.  Send these sightings to me in the normal with “what, when, where” at Kilpatrick Kennels, Kilpatrick, Blackwaterfoot, KA27 8EY, or e mail me at james.cassels@virgin.net .

 

The table below shows the BirdAtlas Code for each tetrad.

 

The two attachments give the 10x10kilometre square grid and the tetrad grid
