BASC members in Scotland are being encouraged to take up bird surveying. Three leaflets – T’he Bird Atlas 2007-2011′, ‘The Uplands’ and ‘Why Record Birds?’ – have been published to help get people started.
To view the leaflets and the Birds In View newsletter please go to www.bto.org/scotland or email robin.anderson@bto.org. The Building Bird Monitoring in Scotland Project is funded by SNH, BTO, SOC and the Gillman Trust.
A decision by the Scottish government to ban snares would be catastrophic to threatened bird species, including the iconic capercaillie.
If you have been issued with a backdated firearms or shotgun certificate following a delay in your renewal, we'd like to hear from you.
BASC is urging members to familiarise themselves with the new Hunting with Dogs (Scotland) Act 2023 when undertaking fox and rabbit control with dogs.
