WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? As noted in the section on interpretation, we have a lot of work to do to extract all the information contained in the many thousands of submissions and one of the questions we hope to address is whether birds in Northern Britain get up at the same time (relative to the time of first light) as those further south. We also want to look at the patterns of arrival within gardens where particular species occur. For example, do Coal Tits arrive earlier in gardens where larger, more dominant tits also occur? Does the prescence of a Sparrowhawk alter the pattern of arrival. It will take us a little while to answer all these questions and to check through all the information we have received. It is likely that we shall have to contact some of the participants to ask for additional information (e.g. to find out the names of the species recorded under 'other species') or to follow up on comments made in emails. Throughout this process we will keep you informed about our progress by using the email address you supplied when entering your observations. If you did not take part in the survey but would like to be kept up to date on our progress, then get in touch with us and we will add you details to a list of interested people. Finally, if you have enjoyed taking part in this survey, why not consider getting involved in other BTO Surveys. You might be interested in our BTO/CJ Garden BirdWatch Survey which looks at how birds use gardens and how this use changes through the year, or you may like to help with BirdTrack by keeping simple lists of the birds that you see in your garden or while out birdwatching. Alternatively, you might fancy helping with one of our other schemes. To find out more, simply click on the hyperlinks in this paragraph. Thank you for all your help, support and interest. We will be adding more pages to this part of the website early in the New Year. Jump back to the Shortest Day Survey Results Menu - click here |
