The image features an illustration of an unfolded map showing greenspaces and birds. Above this wording reads: Add your local greenspace to the Birds in Greenspaces Map.
1/ We need you to make sure your local Greenspace is included on our map ready for the Birds in Greenspaces survey! ➡️ app.bto.org/birds-in...
You can use the map to search for mapped greenspaces near you, suggest new sites and changes to existing ones if there's something we've missed!
