Annual report of the Seabird Monitoring Programme
Seabird Population Trends and Causes of Change: 1986–2023
This report presents the latest seabird population trends in breeding abundance and productivity using data from the Seabird Monitoring Programme (SMP).
The report documents changes in the abundance and productivity of breeding seabird species in Britain and Ireland from 1986 to 2023, and provides a detailed account of the 2021, 2022 and 2023 breeding seasons.

Breeding and post-breeding responses of woodland birds to modification of habitat structure by deer
Author: Holt, C.A., Fuller, R.J., and Dolman, P.M.
Published: 2011
Birds in woodland can be affected by increasing deer populations through changes to the vegetation structure and the potential impacts on foraging resources; these effects need to be better understood. This work, carried out over three years by the BTO and the University of East Anglia, used experimental exclusion of deer to look at the effects of deer browsing in English coppiced woodland.
