About Bedfordshire Bird Club

The Bedfordshire Bird Club (BBC) brings together bird enthusiasts to record and celebrate the county’s avifauna. The club was formed in 1992, is run entirely by volunteers, and is part of the Bedfordshire Natural History Society (BNHS).

We organise year-round events for all bird lovers, novice or expert.

  • Walks: led by knowledgeable members, explore birding sites in Bedfordshire and surrounding counties; most are at weekends.
  • Talks: are monthly from September to March, given by local and national experts, cover a wide range of birding topics. They are held in Maulden Village Hall or by Zoom.
  • Events: include bird ringing demonstrations, The Christmas Bird Hunt and working parties.
  • Surveys: regular local surveys include Rookeries and Winter and Summer garden bird feeding.

Membership is open to everyone, whether you live in Bedfordshire or further afield, join us and get involved. 

Annual subscriptions support the club’s work and activities.
