The Breeding Bird Survey Report

The BTO/JNCC/RSPB Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) started in 1994. The Breeding Bird Survey Report is an annual publication containing bird population trends, Official Statistics based on data collected by the survey, and other results from the scheme.

The Breeding Bird Survey Report is sent free to all BBS volunteers and to a range of conservation practitioners and policy-makers. 

Further printed copies of these reports can be obtained by emailing the BBS organiser at bbs [at] bto.org
