Join us for a walk and talk with the Bradford on Avon Swift Group. Saturday 29th of June, 17:00 sharp

These lads are members of Wiltshire Ornithological Society. They are super keen so it was my great joy to take them out to see Barn Owls being ringed. They were helpful holding the birds whilst I filled in my notebook. I love inspiring the next generation, and they inspire me with their enthusiasm

Look at these photos by a young member, Bud, of the Salisbury Cathedral Peregrines 😍 WOS Youth visited last Saturday and had great views, including the adult female making a kill! She was then surrounded by 4 juveniles creating a great spectacle. Thank you to everyone who came!

A very dodgy video of a Corn Bunting singing at Blakehill WWT Reserve this evening. A great sire record #birds

Migration is in full flow! Look at the numbers rung by one of Wiltshire’s best ringers at a brilliant site ⬇️⬇️

It’s that time of year that lots of bird are moving such a our swallows, but also when interesting and rare migrants can turn up too! One of Wiltshire’s army of bird ringers (and former WOS chairman) showed this in his outings ⬇️

The first winter migrant are coming 🥶

We had a great day celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Wiltshire Ornithological Society. I loved hearing how the original pioneers created the society. Wherever you are, if you are interested in birds, join your local bird club or Ornithological Society they do great work.
