reorganising

This year I am going to extend the area covered to a larger group of parishes this side of the county boundary, and maintain separate parish lists.

Parish A is the parish in which I live, and which was fully included in the previous area.

Parish L is the lies to the east, and partly to the north. About 80% was included in the previous area.

Parish O, parish M, parish Y and parish C lie succesively north of parish L. A small sliver of parish O (south of the canal was included in the previous area).

To the west and north west lie parishes R, H, G and T, small parts of which were included in the previous area.

The new parishes will not be covered in the same detail as parishes A and L; of the new parishes parish O will receive the best coverage.

Disentangling 2008 records to parish level may not be completely achievable; one problem is that the landfill site to the northwest of the town, which is a major source of rarities, lies across a parish boundary, and the lie of the boundary is difficult to follow on the ground - it follows the former course of a stream before it was diverted by the landfill.
