MANCHESTER BIRDING BIRD RECORDING AND COUNTY RARITIES

Greater Manchester, contrary to popular belief, is infact rich in bird life and supports a wide variety of habitats, enjoying a mild climate attractive to many wintering birds. On average, around 200 species are recorded each year and the total number recorded in the county currently stands at 305.

It is VERY important that observers further the knowledge of the avifauna of the county and help conservation by contributing their records for the annual County Bird Report and this page is intended to assist observers in doing just that!
