WeBS was established in 1947 and many of our volunteers have been counting their sites for decades, making them incredibly skilled and knowledgeable about waterbirds in the UK. In fact, our volunteers are award winning! Keep an👀out this week to learn more. #volunteersweek

Our volunteers are not just out counting WeBS sites, but also in our Thetford office, digitising the huge amounts of historic forms that have resulted from > 75 years of waterbird counting. No mean feat and we are incredibly grateful! #VolunteersWeek
