To mark the official opening of the Wales Coast Path on
5th May 2012, Visit Wales is organising the first ever
‘crowdsourced’ count of bird species along the Welsh coast.
Partnering with key national and local wildlife groups
and people, the aim is to set a new record for the number of species of birds
seen in one day around Wales.
We’re asking local enthusiasts, ramblers, reserve wardens
and visiting birders to share what they’re seeing, wherever they are.

While walking anywhere along the Wales Coastal Path,
people can tell us what they’ve seen via Twitter or Facebook.
Visit Wales will then highlight the top sightings of the
day and track the total number of species seen between dawn and dusk — in the
process setting a new record for Wales.
To get involved, take to the Wales Coast Path and simply
share the species of bird spotted, plus the rough location:
