Do you visit the Cotswold Water Park for birding? Where do you generally go and do you send in your sightings? Would you like more information to be made available about birding in the Water Park? Gareth Harris and Bob Philpott have put a short online survey on the Cotswold Water Park Bird Blog and would like to hear your views. The information gathered may be used as a basis for future articles for the Newsletter.
