(1/) This week, we will do one more guessing game about the species that we are focusing on. This species has quite distinctive habits and a prominent silhouette, so it shouldn’t be too difficult to guess what it is! If you don’t want to guess, you can find the answer below!

Keep your eyes peeled for interesting waders passing through just now. If you find waders hard work then you might like to sign up to our 'Bitesize Wader ID' sessions in a couple of weeks time! bto.org/about-bto/nati…

Incredible news about a new Scottish breeder- the magnificent Great Egret!

Please send us any data before the deadline! Thanks folks

What a find! Storm Petrels are incredible wee seabirds. Our very own miniaturised Albatross! Have a read of the blog from David Steel

#Bass Mon a beautiful dawn. 3wks since last visit. How they have grown! This pair on the chapel gable took a few years to settle and successfully breed. They survived HPAI. Such a viewpoint site Scottish Seabird Centre

New blog from #BTOYouth Alicia Hayden exploring bird ringing & birding from the perspective of a woman reclaiming her identity & love for ornithology in a sector that, although joyous, is subject to issues like sexism & bullying.➡️bto.org/community/blog… 🎨🐦

Keep your eyes peeled for Iolaire-iasgaich (the fishing Eagle) this weekend! Why not stick the record in BirdTrack while you're at it?

Hot on the heels of news about Great Egret breeding here's more good news of another new addition to the Scottish list. Great to hear about expanding Crane range and other colonisers too. birdguides.com/news/blyths-re…

Great work by our pal Josh getting out and putting recent wader id training into practise!

Listen out to BBC Radio Scotland at lunchtime to hear our colleague Viola talk more about this sad news and how BTO has played a role in gathering valuable data on these birds.

All these species can be found here in Scotland. Alarming news about their new status on the UK Red List.

Morning folks. Lovely to see (and hear) Swallows and Martins gathering on the wires, chattering away in the cool morning light. A sure sign that it's autumn- they'll be away south soon!

Now that the BBS/ WBBS data entry deadline has passed, the BBS Team at BTO HQ and Regional Organisers across the UK are busy verifying data! Whilst we are busy doing that, here is how far BBS and WBBS volunteers have walked whilst surveying this year! BTO JNCC RSPB Science
