I would like to enter my BBS counts
online
If you would like to set yourself up on BBS-Online to enable you
to enter your BBS bird, mammal and habitat data electronically,
please read on.
Why enter your data online?
| 1. |
BBS-Online provides an easy to use method for
entering your BBS counts |
| 2. |
BBS-Online allows the user to view historical data for their
squares |
| 3. |
Electronic data submission allows the BTO to collect the data
much more quickly and therefore publish results from the scheme
earlier in the following year. |
| 4. |
Electronic data submission saves the RO and BTO a considerable
amount of time and expense in data checking and data capture. |

BBS-Online, depending upon whether you are a new or existing BBS
Observer.
