It is not too long until the annual Breeding Bird Surveys will be carried out. These surveys provide crucial and interesting information about our breeding birds. There are some unallocated squares in the Avon BBS area (which includes some in Somerset). Please click this link to see which squares are currently available. If you are interested the contact details are also on the link.
There is also an upcoming Birds in Green Spaces survey where you record the birds you see in your local park or similar area.
