Birders needed for 2007-11 BTO Bird Atlas

September 21, 2007

This is an opportunity for birders of all ages and levels of skill to make a contribution to producing the BTO Bird Atlas.

The fieldwork for this exciting and important project starts on 1st November 2007 and there are two main ways in which you can take part.

  1. By agreeing to visit one or more tetrads (a square of 2 km by 2 km) twice each for two hours each time, and recording the birds that you see. This is called a ‘Timed Tetrad Visit’ (TTV).
  2. By submitting ‘Roving Records’. These could be observations from your garden or from an area you visit regularly. They could also be from a birding trip or of a single bird that you happen to see - e.g. a barn owl when you are driving. Some of you may already be submitting records to BirdTrack. All BirdTrack records will automatically be included in the data for the atlas so there will be no need to submit the same record twice.

The records can all be submitted on-line - which is encouraged - or by returning completed recording forms.

All the information, including explanations of how to carry out a TTV and frequently asked questions, is available on the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO) Website (www.bto.org or at www.birdatlas.net)

If you register on-line the system will tell you the name of your regional organiser for that Tetrad, the regional organiser will automatically receive an e-mail and will contact you to confirm that the Tetrad(s) are booked in your name.
