Ornithological Society

 

Welcome to the Cardiff University Ornithological Society (aka Bird Club!) open for anyone who is passionate about birds, wildlife and the environment or who is intrested in learning more!

 

We host weekly activities including bird walks, educational talks, movie nights, socials and trips to nature reserves further afield. Over the year we will also be getting involved in different volunteering opportunities, such as the Wetland Bird Surveys in Roath Park and the British Trust for Ornithology's nest box monitoring scheme, that can boost your CV or just be great fun!

 

Bird Club is a great place to meet like-minded people and get to know the wonderful birds and nature spots we have in Cardiff. Everyone is welcome, no matter your experience - from those who are just starting out, to fully-fledged twitchers!

 

Some of our favourite past activities have been trips to Cardiff Bay Wetlands, Forrest Farm Nature Reserve and Caerphilly Castle as well as a camping trip to Pembrokeshire to visit Ramsey Island, and a Q&A event with Iolo Williams!
