2008 Breeding Bird Survey results
Latest BBS figures reveal a positive story for three of our smallest breeding birds – Goldcrest, Chiffchaff and Long-tailed Tit.
However, the declines in long-distance migrants remain apparent. Over 3,200 BBS squares were surveyed in 2008, allowing us to produce UK population trends for 105 of our breeding bird species. For many of these we can also produce population trends for the separate countries in the UK, and even in different regions of England, allowing us to compare local and national trends.
