The BTO in Scotland, Wales and Ireland

Scotland, Wales and Ireland support very significant components of the avifauna of the British Isles and the BTO has always worked to make sure its monitoring projects cover the whole area and offer maximum engagement and satisfaction to birdwatchers anywhere in our islands, however remote from Thetford. We are lucky to have volunteer liaison officers in both Wales and Northern Ireland who can provide more information about local BTO activities there.

In 2000 the BTO Scotland Office was opened in Edinburgh. The office, now based at Stirling University, is run by Chris Wernham with a team of eight permanent staff. They are developing the BTO’s work north of the border and in particular ensuring that its outputs reflect the needs of the devolved government and its environmental monitoring and protection remit.
