Call for volunteers for BTO surveys in Gloucestershire

British Trust for Ornithology surveys

The BTO organizes a number of national surveys, which monitor the status of Britain's birds. These surveys are carried out by experienced volunteer observers, whose results are then analysed by BTO staff at BTO headquarters in Thetford. Many members of GNS and other county ornithological bodies contribute to these surveys in Gloucestershire.

Studies to be carried out in the coming months include:

• Breeding Bird Survey. This is one of BTO's long-term surveys, and involves visits to specified areas on two occasions in spring and early summer, and noting of all birds seen on a one-kilometre walk.

If anyone is willing to join the observer teams, please contact Mike Smart.
