When in Rome

12 Jun 2014 Rock Bunting with nesting material (code 'B') by Frank McClintock

If you are travelling to continental Europe this summer your bird sightings can provide important data for the European Breeding Bird Atlas, which will run until 2017. Your records can easily be submitted for use in this Atlas via BirdTrack’s global data entry tool and will be especially valuable if you include any evidence of breeding that you notice. For example, adding the code 'B' for nest building when logging a record of this Rock Bunting, right, would provide evidence of probable breeding at that location.

For detailed information about how to contribute to this Atlas and to discover areas particularly need your records, please visit the European Breeding Bird Atlas project.
