It is important that we find out as much as we can about the type of habitat that the birds use for breeding. This information will tell us habitat preferences and enable us to detect change in the future.

The list of habitats in the table below are classed as level 1.Click on the relevant link to access level two

Level 1

If, after checking level 1 & 2, you have difficulty categorising your specific habitat, check levels 3 & 4 on the expanded list on the BTO website (link below) but don't forget to key it back to level 2.
