This year the CBC Research
Committee would like to collect data on every Rookery in the county.
This can be achieved if as many members as possible record simple information
for every Rookery they find this spring. Ideally we would like all data
to be submitted on the Excel sheet available from the club website and
this format is used in the example below. If you do not have access
to the internet then paper records in the same format can be sent to
Louise Bacon (see the last page for contact details).
| Site | Grid reference for 100m2 | Active nests | Tree species |
| Soham Village College | TL594727 | 39 | 2 Oak, 1 Scots Pine |
The 6 figure grid reference is generated. To make data analysis and map generation as unambiguous as possible we would ask that all grid references are generated using from the GrabaGrid website, using the 100m square function which is also linked on the club website. The data gathered will be used for the BTO Atlas, the planned Cambridgeshire Atlas and for a Research Committee paper comparing the 2010 data with the historic database of previous surveys co-ordinated by Graham Easy. Completed Rookeries Excel sheets should be sent via e-mail to cambsrookeries@gmail.com at the end of May.
