John Lloyd, Honorary Wales Officer

John Lloyd has been a BTO member and surveyor for forty years. He has been RR for two Welsh counties- Carmarthenshire (briefly) and Brecknock and was chairman of the Regional Network Committee and on the BTO’s council from 2005-9. He remains the Honorary Wales Officer with the formation of the BTO Cymru Office. He is a livestock farmer in North East Carmarthenshire and thus can see both sides of the conservation versus farming debate. His views on this are liable to upset others on both sides of the debate so are best not repeated!

His favourite BTO survey is the Nest Record Scheme, to which he has submitted over 6000 cards and he has an unfulfilled ambition to return to just this scheme! And perhaps to return to casual birding for enjoyment!
