National offices

Scotland, Wales and Ireland support very significant components of the avifauna of the British Isles and the BTO has always worked to make sure its monitoring projects cover the whole area and offer maximum engagement and satisfaction to birdwatchers anywhere in our islands, however remote from Thetford.

BTO Northern Ireland

BTO is particularly active in Northern Ireland: there are many ways that anyone with an interest in birds can get involved.

BTO Scotland

Scotland is special. Its birds, habitats, and environmental challenges differ from other parts of the UK.

BTO Cymru

BTO Cymru seeks to give a Welsh voice and perspective on issues that are important to the birds of Wales.
