Notes

The BTO/JNCC/RSPB Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) is a partnership jointly funded by the BTO, RSPB and JNCC, with fieldwork conducted by volunteers. The BBS now incorporates the Waterways Breeding Bird Survey (WBBS).

The members of the BBS Steering Committee in 2022 were James Pearce-Higgins (Chair), Dawn Balmer, Simon Gillings, Dario Massimino and David Noble from BTO, Simon Wotton and Leah Kelly from RSPB, and Paul Woodcock from JNCC.

We would like to thank all surveyors and Regional Organisers for making the Breeding Bird Survey the success it is today.

There are various volunteer surveys to take part in, all of which contribute valuable data to our understanding of our internationally important populations of geese and swans.
