​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

 NEW: Transatlantic Osprey

Please do take a read at the blog post from Roy Dennis which tells the remarkable  journey of KW0 a colour-ringed Osprey from Clyde Muirshiel Country Park.

 NEW: Branch AGM

​Our Branch AGM takes place on Monday April 3rd at 7.30pm. The venue is Garnethill Room, Renfield Centre, 260 Bath Street, Glasgow G2 4JP.  All are welcome whether SOC members or not.

After the business part which shouldn't take too long, there will be a series of short items.  Topics include Goosander, Raven, Hen Harrier & Woodcock Surveys, Glasgow Peregrines, 
upcoming BTO Training courses, Discussion Group, Mentoring and ad-hoc outings. It should make for an interesting meeting.  ​We look forward to seeing many of you there.
 NEW: ​Grapevine - 28 March update on issues from the last few days
 
From Thursday 16 March the Daily Grapevine for SOC Members is being sent using new mailing list software. We are aware that for many these have been delivered to a spam folder while we authenticated the new software. We hope that these issues are now resolved but if you still are not  receiving the daily email please get in touch via clydegrapevine@the-soc.org.uk.  Thanks for your patience over the last few evenings.

Website updates

  • ​​​​​​NEW: Not long until April now and with it we should see the arrival of many spring migrant species. Donald Wilson is back with another round up for you - What to look for in April - including some handy clips of the calls to listen out for. 
  • The latest grapevine summary of the new year is now available. Don't forget you can also look back at last March's summary to see what was around last year as we go into the new month. Do let us know what you find! 
  • ​A report from the recent North Ayrshire outing is now on the website.
  • Details of the March and April outings - and a date for your diary in May - are available on the outings page.​​​
