The Fylde Bird Club welcomes all birdwatchers whatever their specific interest.  Whether you are a beginner, an expert, a casual local birder or a hard-bitten twitcher, a conservation worker or just want to meet other birders for a chat; we have something for you. The Club is involved in local conservation issues and works closely with local councils to attempt to protect the important habitats of the Fylde. Club members are involved in local and national counts and surveys.  The Fylde Bird Report is published annually which summarise each year's bird records. Our monthly meetings are social events, which regularly include slide shows and talks by both our own members and outside speakers. Information on recent bird sightings in the Fylde and where to watch birds in the Fylde is freely available. Membership fees are £14 per year (senior citizens and students £8) which includes a copy of the annual bird report and quarterly newsletters. If you would like to know more about the Fylde Bird Club, contact the secretary or attend one of our meetings and before deciding on joining, new members are always welcome.















































3rd-summer Yellow-legged Gull Cocker's Dyke 26th June (Chris Batty)
 

Whilst late June and early July can be one of the quietest times of the birding year on the Fylde, it is a good time to search for Quail. We are blessed with acres and acres of suitable farmland habitat within our recording area, but hearing a Quail singing is invariably easier than seeing one. Listen to a Quail's song, recorded in Roseacre last summer, here.
 
For the more ambitious observer, a Royal Tern has recently been seen in Gwynedd, Wales, having arrived there from County Cork, Ireland earlier in the month. Perhaps a beach along the Fylde coast could be the next staging point for this wandering mega-rarity?!
Fylde Bird Club meetings are held at the River Wyre Hotel, Breck Road, Poulton-le-Fylde

Next meeting is on
