The days are getting longer and warmer, the air is filled with birdsong, and for ecologists, that means breeding bird survey season is upon us.
Navigating complex survey methodologies, managing species data, and making sense of your findings can be a time-consuming process. That’s why Coreo is thrilled to announce the launch of our brand new Breeding Bird Survey Template, designed to streamline your workflow and help you deliver high-quality ecological assessments this season. Here’s how our Breeding Bird Survey Template can help you:
The Power of Data-Driven Styling
Designed primarily to help with EcIA and EIA assessments the Breeding Bird Survey template benefits from Coreo’s newest feature – “data-driven styling” (DDS). This transforms your data points into icons that, in the case of the Breeding Bird Survey, show you both the species recorded and the behaviour. This helps you to clearly visualise probable and confirmed territories as your survey and site visits progress. Data driven styling is exclusive to Coreo’s Professional + tier. While the template remains fully functional on the Professional and Fundamentals tiers, users on these tiers will see species presence represented by coloured dots.

UK Species List at Your Fingertips
No more sifting through multiple resources to gather essential species information. Our template comes complete with a curated list of 250 UK bird species searchable using the common name or BTO code. Where relevant, each species features its current conservation concern status (red or amber), along with whether it is a Schedule 1 species. These data are also included in exports so that you don’t have to do any post-processing of data to show this information to clients.
