​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.

 The Clyde list now stands at 315 after BBRC's acceptance of a Pallid Harrier at an undisclosed South Lanarkshire site in October 2019 and a Cackling Goose at Balmore in November 2020. The subspecies Todd's Canada Goose in the Torrance area in November 2020 was Not Proven.
 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.
