Hello!
My name is Richard and I'm a university student from Bratislava, Slovakia. I'm arriving to the UK along with my friend Jan a couple of days (August 22) prior to the Birdair in order to explore the British wildlife. We're particulary interested in these bird species:
Red Grouse (Lagopus lagopus)
Manx Shearwater (Puffinus puffinus)
Roseate Tern (Sterna dougallii) + Arctic & Sandwich Terns
Fulmar (Fulmarus glacialis)
all Skuas
Auks - Razorbill, both Guillemots, Puffin
Gannet (Morus bassanus)
Shag (Phalacrocorax aristotelis)
Waders - Knot & Purple Sandpiper, Stone-Curlew
Songbirds - Chough, Dartfort Warbler; Shore Lark, Twite
I'll be very thankful for all your recommendations about good spots (the more exact, the better) where we have a chance to see this birds.
Our plan is to drive from Luton to Salisbury, then Wales, Manchester, Oakham (the Fair). I've attached a map of the area we're capable to cover during our trip.
I have one more question - is there something like a publicly-accessible national database of the UK's bird sightings?
Again many thanks for your help!
Regards
Richard
