HOW TO JOIN

You'll find joining the Bristol Ornithological Club very straight forward and extremely rewarding.

Regular indoor meetings are held during the winter months, where a wide range of well known ornithologists are invited to talk to us about their

own areas of interest.

These meetings provide an excellent opportunity for club members to get to know each other and to exchange opinions and

information in a relaxed, friendly and informal atmosphere. Young members and beginners are particularly welcome.

Field meetings and evening walks are held in all months of the year, regularly to sites in the local area, but also to other productive bird watching

localities within a couple of hours' drive of our area. These normally include coach trips, besides which, efforts are made to 'car pool' to all of our

more distant destinations.

In addition to the weekend meetings, regular weekday walks, covering a wide variety of local sites, are arranged by the

Tuesday Group who encourage a particularly informal atmosphere.

All of these events have subsequent reports submitted to Bird News.

Weekend trips take place three times a year to various English and Welsh destinations and also we have spent extended week-end trips to farther

away destinations in Scotland, Ireland and Normandy.

Club holidays are arranged at home and abroad. In recent years holidays, of a week's length, have included visits to the Camargue, Estonia, Lesvos,

France, Gambia, Romania and the Spanish Pyrenees. Other excursions included a spring trip to Holland and a late autumn visit to Holy Island.
