An amazing number of Atlas surveys have been carried out since November 1st, and lots of "roving records" have been collected - a great start to this 4-year project. You can check on progress in Sussex at http://blx1.bto.org/atlas-results/allocsuss.html; these maps are updated daily, and might give you some ideas about where to go out collecting records over Christmas - help fill the gaps!

You might also like to look at the national picture and how the results are building up. Check http://www.bto.org/birdatlas/birdoftheday.htm to see an up-to-date map for a different species each day.
