BTO publishes various reports, from those covering the annual results of core surveys, through scientific studies, and on to those produced in partnership with other organisations. Many of these are published as BTO Research Reports. You can access all of our reports from here, though note that we are currently updating the reports section, working backwards through time to bring all of the report pages into a consistent format. You can read our Annual Report and Accounts in the Governance section.

Assessing the habitat use of Lesser Black-backed Gulls (Larus fuscus) From the Bowland Fells SPA.
Author: Clewley, G.D., Scragg, E.S., Thaxter, C.B. & Burton, N.H.K.
Published: 2017
The Bowland Fells Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and Special Protection Area (SPA) is located to the east of Lancaster within north Lancashire. It supports the largest area of blanket bog and heather moorland within Lancashire and provides a habitat for an internationally important upland breeding bird community. The diverse mosaic of upland habitats across the Fells contributes greatly to the ornithological interest of the site, which supports breeding Hen Harrier (Circus cyaneus) (at its only regular breeding site in England), Merlin (Falco columbarius) and one of the five largest UK breeding colonies of Lesser Black-backed Gull (Larus fuscus), which is a SPA review (Stroud et al. 2001) and pSPA (potential SPA) feature.
