In the UK 72% of land is farmland and the key to increasing biodiversity and reversing the decline in wildlife is held by those looking after this land.
By spending just 30 minutes, you can be part of a large monitoring programme that is an important tool in understanding what is happening in our countryside.
The BFBC also provides valuable data and feedback to the GWCT and the NFU, as well as other organisations and policymakers, on the state and trends of farmland birds and the effectiveness of conservation measures. The BFBC is a great example of how citizen science can engage and empower farmers and land managers to make a real difference for wildlife on their farms.
