The BTO are carrying out a survey into wintering thrushes in the UK. It involves making at one visit to a chosen 1km square between 27th January 2012 and 10th January 2013. Additional visits can be made if you wish.
I am already doing the Ramsbottom target square and have volunteered to cover the Helmshore square as well, if any one else wants to do Helmshore, two pairs of eyes are better than one.

The details of the survey can be found here: http://www.bto.org/volunteer-surveys/winter-thrushes
The attached document gives a little more detail.
The target squares around Rossendale are:
SD7821 Helmshore
SD7521 Musbury Heights
SD8428 SE of Crown Point - mainly bare upland habitat so unlikely to contain thrushes
SD8422 N of Stacksteads
Hi Jim,
