@DiRyder 3/3 We understand not everyone uses every social media channel. You can see our latest posts on other channels without creating an account, and can continue to hear news via our membership magazine and e-newsletters, which you can sign up to here: bto.org/community/news…

@DiRyder 2/3 As a small team, we’ve therefore taken the decision to currently focus our time on other platforms.

@BevHall9 Hi Bev, our courses will appear on this page when they are live: bto.org/develop-your-s… and we also have some in person and online bird ID events coming up across the country this year, you can take a look here: bto.org/community/even…

@_BTO any plans for your online bird ID courses in 2025? I couldn’t see anything on your website

@Hypatiakitten @GibsonTomgibo 1/2 Hi Ray. Like many organisations, we continually monitor our performance & a review showed significant declines in the effectiveness of BTO’s X channels to share our messages.

So annoyed @_BTO have gone over to the blue butterfly exclusively. What's worse is they don't appear to be answering posts over there either.

@_BTO very disappointed if this means no more Twitter posts - I’m too old to move to new platform 🙁

Very odd move @bto to throw away 115k followers and not mirror the account still on here? I’m finding bsky is not much different to be honest, the same rubbish creeping in and am using it far less than here still.

As a birder I’ve always followed and supported the work of ⁦⁦@_BTO⁩ on Twitter for almost as long as they have been tweeting, that is almost 25 years! However it seems the ⁦@_BTO⁩ has other ideas going forward! How to lose vital interest & membership, right there!
