Yes, use the following Expression:
=ContainsText(%INDI.BIRT.SOUR>TITL%,'BMD - England',STD)

This checks that the first Birth Citation refers to a Source Record with a Title/Name of BMD - England (or whatever Title/Name you want).

( If you use the Short Title then use ABBR in place of TITL )

Note that for this to work your BMD - England Source Citation MUST be the first one listed in the yellow Sources Pane.

Thank you that works perfectly.

As an aside because I have Births from 5 countries I have set up 5 Expressions. Do I need to do that or can I embed all the countries into 1 Expression or is it best to leave them as separate ones? The same applies for Marriages and Deaths.

Personally , I would reccommend 1 source = 1 expression. That way you can have different Icons for each if you want.

I tend to side with John, but you can have one Expression if you wish.

The ContainsText function describes its 2nd parameter thus:

The search text to check. This can contain more than one word. A field is deemed to match the text if it contains all of the words in the search text. However, they do not have to be whole word matches (e.g. “Hampshire” will match “Shire”), case does not have to match, and the words do not have to be in the same order, contiguous, or even close to each other, in the field in question.

So the Source Title does not have to be an exact match for the text.
It only has to match enough words to uniquely identify it.

So the following would work providing no other conflicting Source Titles contain both BMD and - (hyphen counts as a word).

=ContainsText(%INDI.BIRT.SOUR>TITL%,'BMD -',STD)

Otherwise, you could use a Boolean Expression such as:

=Bool( ContainsText(%INDI.BIRT.SOUR>TITL%,'BMD - England',STD) or ContainsText(%INDI.BIRT.SOUR>TITL%,'BMD - Australia',STD) or ContainsText(%INDI.BIRT.SOUR>TITL%,'BMD - New Zealand',STD) )
