January 2021 Wildlife Sightings

January 2021 Wildlife Sightings

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the latest stay at home instructions in England we have amended the normal wildlife sightings section of our website. We will continue to welcome reports of wildlife seen in our gardens or during exercise walks from home. Initially only the species will be published, possibly with limited location information. The records will be updated with full location details at a later date.

Please report your wildlife sightings to birdrecords@macclesfieldrspb.org.uk

Clear photos will be welcomed and each month a pdf will be attached at the bottom of this page with a selection of photos received (if any).

Please everybody stay safe and healthy and comply with the Covid-19 guidelines.
