This year’s bird report sees the return of Fraser Simpson as co-editor, while Dave Grant has a well-earned break.  The number and geographical spread of records continues to grow, as does the number of contributors.  It’s heartening to see the growing interest in Ayrshire’s birdlife, especially among the younger generations.  We live in a beautiful part of Scotland, with a rich and diverse avifauna, but there are many changes occurring within it, which makes it really important that these changes are documented through your observations.  Thank you all.
