Sandbach Flashes: birds and wildlife
About the Atlas
During the three breeding seasons 2004–06 and three winters 2004/05–2006/07, Cheshire and Wirral Ornithological Society (CAWOS) organised more than 350 volunteers to survey all of the county, trying to find every species of bird that was breeding or wintering
217 species from the Cheshire & Wirral Bird Atlas, surveyed in the breeding seasons 2004–06 and the winters 2004/05–2006/07. Choose a species to read its account and see the distribution maps.
