Index of Description Species for Eastern Glamorgan since 2000
David Gilmore, the County Recorder has just [Oct 2014] completed drawing up an index of all the records of description species for the Eastern Glamorgan recording area since 2000. This should be a very useful resource for researchers and as a reference for anyone interested in past rarities. The plan is that this document will be kept up to date as more records or species are added.

This supplement is only being published here as a downloadable PDF file. Owners of the original book can print the pdf out and it is sized to print at A5 the same size as the original. Please be aware that if printed on A4 sheets the document will be printed in the centre and will need trimming on all 4 sides to A5, but it will print properly on A5 paper.

BIRDING IN GLAMORGAN - A SITE GUIDE
This is a book which was published by the Glamorgan Bird Club in 2009, but is now out of print. However the main body of the book is downloadable from the GBC Google Drive - click here - be aware that the file is 61MB as it contains many site maps. Also be aware that some site details may now be out of date, but most are still valid. You may or may not get an error message from Drive but will be able to download anyway - you will then get a message saying that the file is too large for Drive to scan for viruses, but it is safe and you can download anyway.
