I am delighted that we have now established a proper link between the British Trust for Ornithlogy and the Lincolnshire Bird Club. The BTO is the leading organisation for assembling and publishing data on bird populations. It is recognised as producing impartial scientific data. Whilst it has no direct responsibility for conservation policy, the bird data submitted by thousand
s of volunteers all over the country, is used by government and others to formulate policy in the best interests of conserving our wild birds and wildlife generally. Members of the Bird Club are well placed to contribute to this, simply by submitting records through Bird Track. However, where we undertake specific surveys (Wintering thrushes will feature in the 2011/12 winter) we encourage direct volunteering by Bird Club members. Please feel free to contact me at any time if you would like to know more. I will make occasional posts on this site to keep everyone informed.
