The BirdTrends Report
This BTO report, updated annually, is a one-stop shop for information about the population status of our common terrestrial birds. It is based on data gathered by many thousands of volunteers who contribute to BTO-led surveys. With one web page per species, users can quickly find all the key information about trends in population size and breeding performance, as measured by BTO monitoring schemes.
