Records of sensitive bird species for which breeding was recorded during the 7 survey years 1985-1991. Records of species recorded as present but not breeding, although collected as part of the original survey, are not included here as they do not constitute breeding recordsPurpose
The aim of the survey was to build a complete picture of all the breeding birds of the Clyde recording area during 1985-91 at tetrad scale. The survey work was carried out by volunteers, mostly members of the Clyde SOC branch. Some of the survey work was carried out simultaneously with the BTO national breeding atlasSampling Description
