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 (seniors £10, students £8, juniors £5, family membership £22). 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.
