Are you a birdwatcher and would like to help us better understand how Welsh bird populations are faring?
Join Gethin Jenkins-Jones for a free morning session to find out more about the Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) and how you could take part in it.
By joining the BBS team, you’ll be making a really valuable contribution. This survey allows us to track changes in our bird populations across the UK, helping us to inform their future protection.
Although an important survey, BBS requires only around six hours of your time each year, and all it involves is two visits to a 1-km square, where you’ll note the birds detected while walking a simple transect.
Whether you’re thinking of taking part in the survey for the first time or an existing volunteer who’d like a refresher, be sure to join us at this welcoming and supportive session.
Please note this isn’t a bird identification session. It is aimed at volunteers who are relatively confident in bird ID by sight, song and call for the commoner birds of Wales.
The event will take place between 9:00 and 11:30am.
Please bring your own binoculars and a notebook, and make sure to wear appropriate clothing for the weather conditions.
Further information about the meeting place and nearby parking and toilet facilities will be emailed to registered participants.
We look forward to seeing you there!
