Breeding Swallow Survey 2004
In some areas of the country Swallows are doing well but in others,
especially in the south and east, there have been recent declines
in numbers. By filling in this form you are helping us to find out
why. We are particularly interested in the number of breeding attempts
made by each pair of Swallows. Please see the BTO website for information
to help you fill in the form. If you have more than one pair of
Swallows for which you want to send in details you will need to
fill in one form for each pair.
Please fill in the details on the on-line reporting form. If you
have problems, use the table below and post it to us. Please insert
the date that you notice each event, the sex of the bird (if you
can tell) and the number of eggs or young.
