BTO is a national research organisation studying the UK's birds and
their habitats. It works through a national network of voluntary Regional Representatives
who organise their local members to monitor bird populations. The results of these surveys
are then analysed by scientists based at their headquarters at Thetford, Norfolk. BTO data
are widely used by conservation organisations, developers and policy makers.
