The County Bird Report Production Team are now working very hard to finish the 2010 annual county bird report so it can go off to the printers. The reason for the delay this year is well documented but I can assure you the report will be worth the wait.

As such, I am interested to hear from anyone who would like to reserve their copy now at this early stage. It will be only the usual small print run and I fully expect all copies to go quickly this year so reserving your copy now will make sure you receive one as soon as I get them back from the printers. Although the report will be sold at several outlets I cannot guarantee just how many will be allocated to them; there are over a thousand users of this forum so a few hundred copies might not go a long way!

Anyway, should you like to reserve your copy please simply email, 'phone, text or private message me (don't post your reply to this thread please) and I'll make sure you have a copy.

The price this year is £7 (payment obviously not necessary at this point) but the improvements to the quality of the report are considerable:

• Use of a new printing company
   
• Laminated covers
   
• 11 pages of full colour photographs of some of the county's best birds during the year
   
• 6 new systematic list species accounts writers
   
• A new three man Report Production Team
   
• New and revised full colour county birdwatching sites map
   
• Plus the quality and detail from everything else you expect from your annual county bird report
