WhatsApp Group & Rarity Text

A 'Fylde Bird News' WhatsApp group has recently been set up to provide immediate dissemination of bird news to local birders when a species of interest is found within the Fylde recording area. The group is admined by individuals in their own time and as such is not an official Fylde Bird Club service, thus it is open to all members and non-members alike who wish to join and have the WhatsApp app installed on their mobile phone. If you wish to join the group please email to receive joining instructions.

For those members who do not have access to WhatsApp, the club continues to operate a rarity text alert service. Membership is open to all current members of the Fylde Bird Club, one number per member. The text will arrive from club chairman Paul Slade and messages sent will be at the discretion of the operators, and generally only sent when it is thought likely that the bird will prove to be 'twitchable'. Due to the process by which the text messages are sent, the alerts can not be replied to. Please do not reply to the text message. Again if you wish to be added to the text list please email to receive joining instructions.
