BBS-Online

 

Click the 'login' button to the left to access BBS-Online

The online recording system, BBS-Online, was launched in 2003.  Data submitted online can be processed more efficiently than paper forms, and the system is designed to be simple and user-friendly.

Your notes can be entered directly from your Field Recording Sheets, and you do not have to summarise any counts – the system will add together counts automatically.

You can enter, and edit, bird, habitat, mammal and colony data online, and you can view all data submitted for your square (including by previous observers). 

BBS-Online instructions

1. Everyone (BBS observers and Regional Organisers alike) 
2. Regional Organisers only 

Can't log in?

You can log in using the same username and password as for other BTO online surveys (e.g. BirdTrack or Bird Atlas 2007-11).  However, you will not be able to log in if you have not been set up on BBS-Online, or if you have not registered a BTO user name and password.

"I already survey a BBS square, and have previously sent in data on paper forms, but I don't know my BTO user name and password"  Anyone who has sent in data on paper will automatically be set up on BBS-Online. However, if you haven't used any BTO online surveys before (e.g. BirdTrack), you will need to register a password. 

"I have been allocated a BBS square, but I don't know my BTO user name and password"  You should be set up on BBS-Online if we have heard from your RO that you've taken on a square, but if you haven't used any BTO online surveys before (e.g. BirdTrack), you will need to register a password.

"I have been allocated a BBS square, and I have a BTO user name and password, but I still can't log in"  If you have been allocated a BBS square, and have set up a BTO user name and password, but are still unable to log in, you have not yet been set up on BBS-Online. To get set up, please email bbs [at] bto [dot] org with your name, address, and your allocated square. 

"I haven't yet been allocated a BBS square"  If you would like to take part in the survey, but haven't yet been allocated a square, please contact your Regional Organiser to request a square.

If, having read all the above, you are still having problems logging in, please email bbs [at] bto [dot] org.
