The Society was formed in 1950 with the aims of observation and conservation of birds. The society undertakes a number of in-County surveys both for its own purposes and for other organisations eg., BTO, RSPB, WWT etc.



The Society publishes a quarterly bulletin with news, events, views and recent bird sightings, plus an annual report summarising what has been seen throughtout the year, survey results and special articles. The Society is open to all.
