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 220 members. The Club is a Registered Charity (number: 1102961) and is involved in local conservation issues, working closely with local councils, the RSPB and other bodies in efforts 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.

‘Butterfly Britain' with Oliver Smart
Butterflies have been collected or studied in Britain for hundreds of years and the decline over recent times has been dramatic. Oliver's latest talk takes you on a journey to see all of the resident species to these isles as well as some of the rare migrants and extinct species that have or still occasionally occur here. His talk will cover the ecology, behaviour, habitats and the relationships with other plants and animals that make these little insects so uniquely special.
