Yearlist Challenge 2023
Results to Date 04-09-2023
The Fylde Yearlist Challenge returns for 2023 following three years dormant due to the covid-19 pandemic and associated travel restrictions. A light-hearted contest, the aim is to see or hear as many species of bird within the Fylde recording area over the course of the 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.
