Join our BioBlitz event - 17th Thursday October

We are seeking volunteers to help gather the data on bird populations in the Dreel Burn catchment. Involving communities in data collection is an increasingly popular activity known as 'Citizen Science'. Such activity is particularly constructive when the community can understand how the data they collect will have a positive impact on nature and the environment.

Volunteers could be experienced bird watchers or less experienced but enthusiastic and keen to learn. Volunteers of all ages and with any level of bird knowledge can help us to build bigger and better data on the birdlife in the Dreel Burn catchment.

Anstruther Improvements Association, Fife Coast & Countryside Trust and CreditNature welcome you to join our BioBlitz event on the Balcaskie Estate starting at 9am on Thursday 17th October.

Small groups of 2-4 volunteers walking prescribed areas of the estate and recording the birds seen in that area. Each walk should take no more than 3 hours to complete, and volunteers are invited to gather at Balcaskie House afterwards for some warming soup and home baking.

If you are interested in joining this activity as a volunteer you can sign up here or if you have any questions please email Cristin.Lambert@fifecountryside.co.uk.
