Click here to see info about the BTO Birds in Greenspaces survey and here to see about the Blackbirds in Gardens survey- to see how the Usutu virus may effect populations.

It is great to see many people logging young birds or breeding on Bird Track and e-bird. Some species tend to be under-recorded, so any records of nests/juveniles are always good to get, especially house martin, swallow, swift and dipper.
