Events and training in Northern Ireland

Upcoming events for BTO volunteers and supporters in Northern Ireland

BTO NI hosts a wide variety of public events throughout the year. These range from training courses encouraging participation in our core surveys, to more informal field outings and mentoring, bird identification courses, our annual Seabird Report Launch and the annual BTO NI Birdwatchers' Conference. If you would like to book multiple places, please book your place then log out of your MyBTO account and book each additional place as a separate transaction. We aren't able to take multiple bookings through a single transaction at the moment.
