Ffeil = File E 8. - BTO Ornithological Atlas,

Original file of papers relating to the British Trust for Ornithology Ornithological Atlas, mainly relating to the presentation of the breeding distribution of rarer breeding species in Wales, including kite, hen harrier, peregrine, chough, little tern, gossander and dotterel. Includes "Personally I would feel happier if the system did not show precisely the number of 10 km. squares with [kite] breeding records, mainly because this betrays the preponderance of Cardiganshire records compared with Carmarthenshire ones ... and is therefore against our agreed policy of keeping quiet about the strength of the Cardiganshire population" (letter from Peter Davis to Col Salmon, Feb. 1970) (see also B 4).
