In 2016 we carried out one survey each month and accumulated 552 records of 66 species. Since we began in 2012 we have accumulated 2900 records of 89 species.
The surveys are carried out on the second Sunday of each month, weather permitting, starting half an hour after sunrise. We follow two or three set routes (depending on how many people turn up) and record all of the species we see. Records are entered into Birdtrack.
Surveys focus on the Rifle Range and Steyning Combe areas. This year we are considering additional surveys in the Pepperscoombe area, mainly in the breeding season.
If you would like to take part, check details on the Steyningdownland.org website.
