Something different for Mother's Day?
Mother's Day is fast approaching on the 18th March. Take a look at BTO's range of gifts or our ebay auctions for some great gift ideas. For something a little different why not sponsor one of our five Cuckoos, or buy a BTO gift membership or GBW gift membership?
An eye for Iceland and Glaucous Gulls
The latest identification video tackles the difficult pair of gulls, Iceland and Glaucous. March is one of the best months of the year to catch up with wandering gulls as they make their way back to their summer haunts. There are lots of Iceland Gulls around right now (check out the BirdTrack reporting rate).
Going for Gold: Annual GBW Results published
2011 was a golden year for Garden BirdWatchers. Annual Results of the BTO’s Garden BirdWatch survey show that Goldfinch reached an all-time high but Song Thrush an all-time low in the nation’s gardens last year. Watch BTO's Dr Tim Harrison explain the highlights in a BBC video report.
