| Birds | |||
| Several members are fortunate to have a river or lake in their tetrads where there is public access. For this reason several species may have been reported by other Society members. You may find that some unusual species are marked with a "G" denoting that they are garden species. These, of course, were seen flying over the garden . The list is arranged in Voous order, similar to that used in the majority of bird books. | |||
