The Birds of Tyttenhanger Gravel Pits 1945-2023 has been published on the Herts Bird Club Website and can be found here
This report has been written by Ricky Flesher and Peter Christian and is a summary of more than 250,000 individual database entries from Tyttenhanger GPs from the first in 1945 through until the end of 2023. The records have been pulled together into a single database for the first time and analysed on a species-by-species basis to provide a snap-shot of the history of each of these 208 species at Tyttenhanger GPs.
Summaries are provided of the exotic/escaped bird species recorded and the mammals, amphibians, reptiles, butterflies, dragonflies and damselflies that have also been recorded on-site. This report also contains a history of the Tyttenhanger GPs database construction and graphic summaries of all WeBS counts since 1987. The 2023 report in the current series is embedded in the report along with important records through 2024 until the middle of 2025.
This is the last report in the current series and provides a one-stop summary of Tyttenhanger GPs birding history for the period 1945-2023. A copy of the database is available in Excel format on-request from the authors. Previous site bird reports are available on the Tyttenhanger site guide
