WBBS extends the methodology of the BTO/JNCC/RSPB Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) to linear waterways. Random stretches of river and canal are covered, equivalent to BBS’s randomly selected 1-km squares
The WBBS is designed to be a quick, simple and, most importantly, an enjoyable bird watching exercise. Observers make three visits to their waterway stretches, the first to check access and record habitat types, and the second and third to record birds
There is one vacant (brilliant) stretch of waterway on the River Little Ouse between TL817879 and TL786869 (Brandon).
Please contact Mick for more information or if you wish to take on this WBBS stretch.
