     SIGHTINGS FOR THE NHS NEWLETTER: 
     
    
   
   
    
     The list of sightings in the NHS 
     
     newsletter is both interesting & 
     
     necessary for keeping the bird 
     
     checklist up to date. Geoff Hogan 
     
     used the lists while doing the 
     
     recent revision (see story) and 
     
     found that some sightings lacked 
     
     numbers and dates. These would 
     
    

    
     be very much appreciated on all 
     
     future sightings sent in.
