Not a normal spring
With March feeling like May, April being extremely wet and windy, and May at times feeling like November, it has been far from a normal spring. See the latest BTO migration blog to see what effect this has had on the arrival of our summer visitors.
What are your views on the Volunteer?
We recently published our new magazine called Volunteer (download PDF, 8mb) which was the first BTO magazine to be mailed to all 60,000 of our supporters. We'd like to know what you thought of the magazine. Feedback on the magazine will be extremely useful to us in planning future magazines and other literature. Please take a few moments to complete the online survey and just by participating you could win a box set of the BBC's fabulous "Secret Life of Birds" DVDs.
Nightingale Survey 2012 continues
Due to the exceptional spring which has delayed migrants, Nightingales are arriving even now. We would urge people to continue to report records through out the rest of May. The nocturnal element (midnight to 3am) to the Nightingale Survey commenced on 18th May, watch our Bird ID on Night Singers to prepare.
Celebrate Dawn Chorus Day in style
Join BTO at a special dawn chorus walk at the beautiful Painshill gardens in Surrey on 19th May. Led by Steve Piotrowski, this fantastic morning will include a guided walk, breakfast and workshop on bird identification in the inspiring 18th century grounds near Cobham, Surrey.
