Share your coastal sightings with us

Your field notes help refine the identification guides and keep the seasonal maps accurate. Send us a record of an unusual plumage, a new colony location, or a species you spotted outside its usual range. We read every message and reply with practical feedback.

What to include in your note

  • Date, time and tide state when you made the observation
  • Location details: estuary, cliff section, wetland or open beach
  • Behaviour notes, such as feeding, courtship or nesting activity
  • Optics used and estimated distance to the bird

If you are unsure about an identification, attach a short description of the plumage and we will help you work through the field marks.

Tell us about your birding experience

Whether you are just picking up binoculars or have years of coastal lists behind you, we want to hear where you watch and what you would like more of in the field guide. A few details help us point you to the right maps, species notes and future print runs.

We usually reply within two working days. If your message is about a specific sighting or a correction to a species entry, mention the location and the date so we can check it against local records.
