Membership
The Bedfordshire Bird Club is open to everyone, whether resident in the county or not. See this short video filmed at Clophill Lakes to find out more about Beds Bird Club and the benefits of joining.
We are affiliated to the The Bedfordshire Natural History Society (BNHS) and our annual subscriptions are managed via the society. Upon signing up you’ll be redirected to BNHS’ website.
Our Benefits
The Club’s active members engage in local and national bird surveys. Join today to enjoy these member benefits.
Annual event schedule
Indoor meetings occur on the last Tuesday monthly September to March. Birding Walks are held throughout the year mostly to sites in Bedfordshire and surrounding counties.
Regular Updates
Members are contacted regularly about events, projects and activities of the Club.
During 2026 a members’ area will be created on this website featuring a blog containing monthly bird sightings, other news and providing access to PDF copies of publications.
Annual Bird Report
Members receive a copy of Bedfordshire Bird Report in the year it is published. Joint Bird Club/BNHS members also get a copy of The Bedfordshire Naturalist.
“Each meeting with the Bird Club is different. I notice new things every time and everyone is very friendly.”
