Welcome to Birds in Clyde |
|
Whether you are new to birdwatching, an experienced birder, or somewhere in between, the purpose of this website is to get you involved and further your enjoyment of Scotland's wonderful birdlife.
The Scottish Ornithologists' Club (SOC) was established in 1936 and exists to promote the study, enjoyment and conservation of wild birds and their habitats across Scotland. This is the website of the Clyde Branch of the SOC, which coordinates recording and activities, with regular meetings and outings.
Noticeboard
Clyde Bird Report 2011 Clyde SOC is delighted to publish the Clyde Bird Report for 2011. The production of this report was very much a team effort with 20 people writing species accounts and at least 16 people helping directly in other ways. Thank you too, to all the Observers without whose records, there would be no report. You can download the report for free. There is still much to do to fill in the gaps for the missing years reports, but we have a plan |
Discussion Group
The discussion group are focusing on eight species - you can see them in the graphic. Even if you aren't part of the discussion group, we are all encouraged to report sightings of these species. Future dates for the group meetings will be announced soon. |
