How to take part

Fieldworker out atlasing

Fieldwork for the national atlas is now complete.  There are c20 local atlas projects continuing for another year or more - please have a look where these are and see if you can help.

Contact your Regional Organiser, or Sign-up Online, to find out where help is needed.

There are two ways to help:

Timed Tetrad Visits - record all the birds you see and hear in a 2km x 2km square. Visit for an hour or more in the winter and breeding season.

Roving Records - any bird, anytime, anywhere. If you see it, record it, and we'll map it. 

You can request a square to cover for Timed Tetrad Visits without registering for Bird Atlas Online. However, we strongly encourage you to register - then you view maps of your tetrads, submit your records online, and see how results develop.

Any problems, do contact birdatlas [at] bto [dot] org for help.
