BTO News - The BTO’s members' magazine

 

BTO members receive our exciting, full-colour 24-30 page magazine BTO News regularly throughout the year. Full of all the latest results of surveys, BTO News keeps you informed of the work of the Trust and related topical issues concerning birds and the environment, all illustrated with stunning photographs. See how your records from Bird Atlas 2007-11, BBS (Breeding Bird Survey), BirdTrack and all the other BTO surveys are used, and how vital they are for our work – and what amazing research they allow us to undertake. Find out about other BTO research, new surveys and how you can help.

Each feature-packed issue also tells you the latest bird news, gives information on recently published books and lets you know of events, training courses and conferences around the country.

In the last couple of issues we have featured articles on non-native species, the unexpected legacy of Foot and Mouth disease, the changing timing of migrant birds, and what are the next stages in Atlas production as the fieldwork stage comes to an end and many, many others.

As a taster, get a preview of one of the articles in the most recent issue:

Package Holiday to the Med! 

Lesser Black-backed Gulls have a different approach to migration and, with the advent of digital tracking methods, we now know a lot more about where our birds go to, and what routes they use to get there. View a pdf of the full article.

Tree Sparrows - A Success Story 

Amid stories of declining farmland birds and, in particular, Tree Sparrow declines, comes a tale of a burgeoning colony of nest-box using Tree Sparrows in Cumbria.  View a pdf of the full article.
