Take part in a BTO questionaire..... 


BTO NI would be grateful if you could take the time to complete an online questionnaire at the following link: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/2DYR7XR 

This should only take around five minutes. The aim is to help BTO increase volunteer participation in Northern Ireland so that they can produce more robust scientific data and better understand our wild bird populations. 

The more responses BTO get to the questionnaire the better, so please feel free to forward the link to anybody who might be interested.

The questionnaire will be closed on 28th October 2020.


Our  thanks to Juliet Fleming for this photo of a Turnstone.
