Breeding Bird Survey 2007

I'll be sending out survey forms in a couple of weeks time. If anybody would like to volunteer to do a survey, please look at the map for any open points in an area you would like. The filled points are already taken. Then contact me at rushmoor1@tiscali.co.uk

The survey only takes three mornings during the spring and summer, and the results can be entered on-line or on paper forms.
More information can be found at the BTO website - http://www.bto.org/bbs/index.htm
