| 2008 BBS season now completed
We’d like to thank everyone who took part in the BBS

2009, click

Time for the indoor work...
We are very grateful to everyone who has already submitted
their 2008 BBS data online (see Number
of Submissions). It’s easy to submit your data directly
from your Field Recording Sheets using BBS-Online,
and best done as soon as possible after carrying
out your BBS visits. To find out more about getting set up
on BBS-Online, click
here.
FREE bird call CD!
A CD of the songs and calls of over 70 British species is
available free of charge to new BBS volunteers – just
ask your Regional Organiser. Volunteers surveying upland squares
will also receive a second CD of upland bird songs and calls.

Green light for 2008
Butterfly Surveys
Butterfly Conservation and BTO are pleased to announce that
the "Butterflies in the Wider Countryside" pilot
survey will be repeated in 2008. This survey involves recording
butterflies along your normal BBS transects in July and August,
and was rolled out in selected regions last year. If you would
like to know more about this survey, please email
or visit the UKBMS
website.
BBS and the Atlas
Your BBS records will automatically be passed
to the Bird Atlas 2007-11 in the form of Roving Records. However,
if you confirm breeding for a locally scarce species whilst
carrying out the survey it would be worth reporting the record
online at www.birdatlas.net,
or on a Roving Record form available from BTO.
