Visit 2 to my Hesleden Winter Bird Survey square this morning. Coveys of 6 and 10 Grey Partridge were the highlight in this ocean of winter cereal. Only a third of potential Cleveland squares are allocated for this important project @teesbirds.bsky.social @bbs-birds.bsky.social

It's December and time for your next Winter Bird Survey visit! Here are some thoughts from James Heywood, @bbs-birds.bsky.social and WINBS Organiser, after his second visit.
