BirdTrack spring appeal

11 May 2016 Turtle Dove by Jeff Lack

Thanks to your efforts, an average of over 5 million records are submitted to BirdTrack each year, making it an amazing example of citizen science. The submissions have reflected declines in bird populations, including the Turtle Dove. BirdTrack provides a potentially valuable tool for monitoring the populations of species that are too rare to be well covered by the Breeding Bird Survey or similar schemes.

This spring, BTO are appealing for funds to carry out some vital work to unlock the scientific and conservation value of the data collected within BirdTrack. All contributions to the BTO's spring appeal will be greatly appreciated.
