State of Nature report
The first State of Nature report is launched today (May 22nd) providing the most comprehensive assessment to date of biodiversity in the UK. This is the result of data collation and analysis by a consortium of 25 non-government organisations and biodiversity recording schemes over the last year in the largest ever cross-taxa collaboration of its kind.
New Ernest Charles catalogue out now
The spring/summer Ernest Charles catalogue has just been published, featuring loads of great products and fantastic deals. Best of all, sales from Ernest Charles support the work of the BTO, so please help them to help us by placing an order. Parent birds could certainly use an energy boost at this time of year. There are also some new additions to the BTO range including a BTO Hooded Sweatshirt and Baseball Cap.
