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 Fylde Bird Club now has over 200 members. 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 Fylde Bird Report and quarterly Newsletters, and access to the WhatsApp rare and scarce bird information sharing group. 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.

Birding in the Isle of Avalon with Mike Roberts.
'I have visited the Glastonbury and the Somerset Levels since the mid-nineties and seen many changes there with new nature reserves such as Ham Wall and Shapwick Heath being created. I try in the talk to show both the diversity of landscape as well as wildlife of the area. Whilst birds are a key focus, I also include otters, water voles, dragonflies and butterflies. I cover the return of both the bittern and the crane as well as new arrivals such as little bitterns, great and cattle egrets as well as the odd rarity.'
