Winter Gull Survey (WinGS)

We are looking for volunteers to help survey various sample sections of the Pembrokeshire coast and Milford Haven Waterway for the BTO Winter Gull roost survey (WinGS). 

This survey will provide the first opportunity to determine if there have been any significant changes in the numbers and winter distributions of the six commonest gulls (Herring, Lesser Black-backed, Great Black-backed, Black-headed, Common, Mediterranean) since the last Winter Gull survey in 2003/2004-2005/06. 

The priority date for this winter’s survey is Sunday 21st January, although counts will be welcomed up to a week either side of the preferred date. 

Information about how to take part and how to select a site can be found here. We hope you can help.
