National offices

Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland support very significant components of the avifauna of the British Isles.

BTO works to make sure its monitoring projects cover the whole area, and offer maximum engagement and satisfaction to birdwatchers anywhere in our islands.

BTO Northern Ireland

BTO is particularly active in Northern Ireland: there are many ways that anyone with an interest in birds can get involved.

BTO Scotland

Scotland is special. Its birds, habitats, and environmental challenges differ from those in other parts of the UK.

BTO Cymru (English)

BTO Cymru gives a Welsh voice and perspective on issues that are important to the birds of Wales.

Support the future of our birds

Our surveys are vital. The data they produce help us drive positive change for the very special birds found in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

But increased pressure on funding is putting our surveys and data at risk – which is why we need your support.
