Can I make a particular appeal for volunteers to the BTO's Breeding Bird Survey in South Lincolnshire?
Taking part in the BBS is the best way to improve your birding skills, if you're not sure of some bird songs or calls, you soon will be when you've done a few surveys. If you did any Timed Tetrad Visits for the Atlas then you will easily be able to do a Breeding Bird Survey.
Breeding Bird Surveys are done online with all your results easy to see year by year. Your survey work (and thousands of other people's) builds up to to a comprehensive picture of the fortunes of our breeding birds year by year. For more information look at the website
