Survey Details - Roving 10km Records
Roving 10km Records
Bird records from every 10km square were collected, which were used to describe the distribution range.
2007
2011
The purpose of the survey was to map the distribution of all bird species, generate information on patterns of relative abundance, quantify distribution changes, inform conservation priorities, and engage a new generation of recorders.
Casual observations
The survey covered both Britain and Ireland, but only the Republic of Ireland subset of data are displayed.
Four winters and four summers from November 2007 to July 2011.
Hiqh quality. All data underwent rigourous data verification and validation.
