The SBBOT is an accredited bird observatory, monitoring and recording species at the Sandwich Bay reserve, including birds, mammals and insects, notably moths. The Information gathered while bird ringing including age, weight and sex is passed on to the British Trust for Ornithology, BTO which helps monitor long-term population and global migration patterns, This information is vital for wider conservation efforts. The annual 'State of UKs Birds, which was published at the end of 2017 in conjunction with the RSPB, British Trust for Ornithology, the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust, and Natural England, highlighted the changes in birds migration patterns as directly linked to global warming. According to the report Birds such as Swallows, Garden Warblers and Whitethroats are staying in the UK for up to four weeks longer, while some Blackcaps and Chiffchaffs arent migrating at all causing numbers to rise.
