This FREE session at Fremington Quay will focus specifically on how to take part in the Breeding Bird Survey, in order to prepare you, build confidence and excitement for taking part in the survey in 2026 and beyond. Please note, to make the most out of this session you need to be able to identify the majority of bird species that are typically found in parkland in southwest England by song and call.
We will explain the mechanics of the survey and guide you through a series of mock BBS transect sections. The session will be led by BBS staff and volunteers who have experience of both taking part and coordinating the survey across the UK. Advanced booking essential. This session is limited to 12 participants.
