Articles, notes and reports

Between us all, the members of the SBSG do a great deal of birding!  Some of the results of this effort is seen in Recent News, but much of potential interest to others isn't shared.  Have you, for example:
  • kept records of your garden or local patch sightings and noted interesting changes?
  • seen an unusual example of bird behaviour?
  • taken some good photos on a recent local or overseas birding trip?
  • researched, say, small binoculars/birding recording software/digiscoping kit and have some useful conclusions to share?

If you have, and have the time to write anything from a couple of paragraphs to several pages, with photos/illustrations if appropriate, please email it to me Simon Bailey and I'll publish it on these pages, and/or send it to Pete Mella, who is now editing The Bulletin.

You'll also see on these pages the reports of indoor meeting talks, so you can catch up with those you missed, or refer back to any you particularly enjoyed.
