BTO Social Media
Please note that the ‘X’ (formerly Twitter) account will shortly be retired following the main BTO account moving away from posting on this channel last year. Locally run BTO Avon social media accounts will also be closed in time. This follows a review of how social media was being used across the organisation, and that posting on personal accounts or local ornithological feeds appears to be more effective in recruiting volunteers and spreading awareness, so the BTO will be spending more time creating assets (e.g. social media tiles) rather than encouraging local accounts. For more information, please email alice.johnson@bto.org.
