• Thanks to our members, funders and supporters, £7.3 million was spent during the year carrying out, supporting and communicating our ornithological research and delivering engagement.
• Through our Bird Study journal, we brought together 22 important scientific papers that shed new light on the avian influenza outbreak and help direct our response to this devastating disease.
• Our Together Through Nature (Thetford) project has given us the foundations needed for a successful community project, working with people who don’t usually have the opportunity to engage with nature and BTO.
• Some 43,679 BTO volunteers have contributed to Garden BirdWatch, which has celebrated 30 years of recording this year, generating 10.6 million weekly observations.
• Volunteers contributed 2,643,682 hours to BTO work during the year, mainly through our bird surveys and monitoring schemes. This incredible effort has an estimated financial value of more than £54 million.
• During 2024/25, we received just under £800,000 through gifts in Wills, something for which we are phenomenally grateful.
