Reports

BTO publishes various reports, from those covering the annual results of core surveys, through scientific studies, and on to those produced in partnership with other organisations. Many of these are published as BTO Research Reports, which includes BBS reports, Waterbirds in the UK (WeBS) reports and SMP reports. You can access all of our reports from here, though note that we are currently updating the reports section, working backwards through time to bring all of the report pages into a consistent format. You can read our Annual Report and Accounts in the Governance section.

Winter Farmland Bird Survey

Author:

Published: 2007

This report presents the results from a large-scale survey of wintering birds on a representative sample of lowland farmland in Britain – the Winter Farmland Bird Survey. The aims of the Winter Farmland Bird Survey were three-fold: first, to provide information on the distribution and abundance of a suite of farmland bird species across the whole of lowland Britain; second to describe the distribution and abundance of agricultural habitats in winter; and, third to identify the habitat preferences of farmland birds in winter across a wide geographic area and to investigate the importance of regional and seasonal differences. This report draws together much of the work undertaken on the Winter Farmland Bird Survey project, including published and unpublished work. It includes preliminary analyses that aimed to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the dataset (Supplementary Analysis, Chapter 9), and considers broad habitat associations (Chapters 2, 3), the importance of stubble fields (Chapter 4), landscape-level habitat associations (Chapter 5), regional similarities in drivers of distribution (Chapter 6), possible population-level responses of birds to winter habitat availability (Chapter 7) and investigating possible linkages between farmland and gardens (Chapter 8).
