Building Bird Volunteers

Would you like to get out more, go to new places, experience the wonder of Scotland’s natural history and understand more about birds?

Recording birds is an ideal way to do this. You don’t have to be an expert, as you can get involved at many different levels and training is available.

Perhaps you’re keen, but don’t feel you have the skills to take part? If you’ve ever thought of doing some voluntary bird recording, or even if you have never considered it before, there has never been a better time to get involved.

Thanks to the Building Bird Monitoring in Scotland project there are more opportunities than ever before for those in Scotland new to bird surveys. Until Spring 2010, there will be talks, free local training courses and promotional materials designed to encourage and help people from all walks of life to record birds in Scotland. Click on the links above to learn more.

For more information about talks or training courses or any aspect of the project, please contact Robin Anderson ( or 01786 466 560).
