The BTO Winter Gull Survey (WinGS) was conducted in January 2024, September 2024 and January 2025. Coverage in Kent was excellent with most sites covered in the first winter and good coverage again for autumn 2024. Thanks to all those who contributed their time to help with site counts. These were generally organised via the Kent WeBS teams but there were also other individual volunteers.
The data entry portal will be closed on March 31st, after which the process of analysing the data gathered across the UK will begin. It is hoped that a write-up of the survey results for Kent will appear in the 2024 Kent Bird Report.
