Dawn Balmer, BTO

In 1991 the BTO (British Trust for Ornithology) moved to its current headquarters in a converted nunnery in Thetford, Norfolk in the east of England. The following year twenty-two year old Dawn Balmer started working at the Nunnery – and is still there today. She has worked on a wide range of census, fieldwork, ringing and online bird recording projects, was the Atlas Coordinator for the Bird Atlas 2007–11 project and is now Head of Surveys. She also represents BTO on the Rare Breeding Birds Panel, is on the British Ornithologists’ Union Records Committee, and on the Editorial Panel of British Birdsmagazine.
