Annual report of the Seabird Monitoring Programme
Seabird Population Trends and Causes of Change: 1986–2023
This report presents the latest seabird population trends in breeding abundance and productivity using data from the Seabird Monitoring Programme (SMP).
The report documents changes in the abundance and productivity of breeding seabird species in Britain and Ireland from 1986 to 2023, and provides a detailed account of the 2021, 2022 and 2023 breeding seasons.

Evaluating the potential for bird‐habitat models to support biodiversity‐friendly urban planning
Author: Plummer, K.E., Gillings, S. & Siriwardena, G.M.
Published: 2020
This BTO study modelled the abundance of breeding birds within built-up areas, exploring how this varied in relation to the characteristics of these urban environments. It highlighted the potential of an evidence-based – and spatially explicit – evaluation of urban development impacts on biodiversity, by predicting the consequences for bird numbers.
