2022 was an extraordinary year for birds within the region on a number of fronts.
- The highest ever species total in a year by a large margin
- An exceptional number of first records for the area
- A very strong supporting cast of rarely seen species
As well as full details on all the species seen, there is a section on overall analysis, the regular ringing report, a number of finder’s accounts and special reports on audio recording for Nightjars and the development of the Borders bird list over the last four decades.
The Report is illustrated with colour photographs taken by local birders and is generously supported by graphs depicting trends of species records in recent years, as well as tetrad maps for selected species.
