MANCHESTER BIRDING COUNTY BIRDING SITE GUIDES

These county birding site guides were written by or in consultation with their respective 'patch regulars', those birders with the most intimate knowledge of that site. I would like to thanks them all for their time and effort and to welcome any observers whose regular patch has not been documented here but who would be willing to write or assist to write a guide for that site to consult the guidelines for submissions link here.
