Introduction to the Fylde Bird Club
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, whilst the Fylde Bird Report is published annually which summarises 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 for adults, £10 seniors and £22 family, with juniors under 16 joining for free. Membership includes a copy of the annual bird report and quarterly Newsletters, and access to the WhatsApp and Rarity Text services. If you would like to know more about the Fylde Bird Club, contact the Secretary or attend one of our meetings before deciding on joining; new members are always welcome.

From the Pacific to the Heart of the Amazon
- The Northern Peru Birding Route with Rob Williams
The route from the Pacific coast to the central Amazon in northern Peru crosses the Andes at their lowest pass and takes in a wide variety of habitats including desert, semi-deciduous forest, montane grasslands, cloud forest and the lowlands of the Amazon. This diversity of habitats is reflected in the diversity of birds and over 1400 species can be found. This talk explores the habitats and birds of the route, taking in some of the culture and archaeology along the way. Rob lived in Northern Peru for 3 years and has worked with local communities, tour operators and the Peruvian Government to develop and promote the Northern Peru Birding Route.
