This month sees the start of an update which is to take three years. Unlike the earlier survey, the New Atlas aims to record not only the species breeding, but also the number of each. This project is being run by the British Trust for Ornithology and I am responsible for the local organisation on their behalf. The British Trust for Ornithology links a small
professional staff with a national network of ama teur volunteers and the work which this enables it
to undertake is the envy of the world. Much of the conservation work of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds and of the Government’s Nature Conservancy Council is based on surveys carried out by the BTO. At a more local level, but covering all aspects of
