About Bedfordshire Bird Club

Bedfordshire Bird Club brings together people who love watching, recording, and learning about the county’s birds. We’ve been going since 1992, run entirely by volunteers, as part of the Bedfordshire Natural History Society.

We organise walks and talks for birders of all levels. Walks, led by knowledgeable members, explore the best sites in Bedfordshire and nearby counties, usually at weekends, with the occasional midweek evening stroll. From September to March, monthly talks by local and national experts cover a wide range of bird-related topics.

Membership is open to anyone, wherever you live. Your subscription keeps the walks, talks, and recording work going.
