The Fylde Yearlist Challenge returns in 2020 for the 12th time, a light-hearted contest to see who can see or hear the most species of bird within the Fylde recording area in one year. The competition provides some extra motivation to your Fylde birding, an incentive to get out and about around the Fylde exploring those lesser-birded spots in the search for additional species.
Rules
- The competition runs from the 1st January 2020 to the 31st December 2020. All species seen or heard within the boundaries of the Fylde recording area can be counted.
