Practice taking part in the Breeding Bird Survey

 

This FREE session at Coate Water Country Park will focus specifically on how to take part in the Breeding Bird Survey, in order to prepare you, build confidence and excitement for taking part in the survey in 2025 and 2026. Please note, to make the most out of this session you need to be able to identify the majority of bird species that are typically found in parkland in southwest England by song and call. 

We will explain the mechanics of the survey and guide you through a series of mock BBS transect sections. The session will be led by BBS staff and volunteers who have experience of both taking part and coordinating the survey across the UK.

Advanced booking essential. This session is limited to 12 participants. Please note that there is Pay & Display car parking at this location.
