INTERESTED IN BIRD-WATCHING IN THE SHEFFIELD AREA ?

The Sheffield bird Study Group is the leading ornithological society in the city and has been active in and around Sheffield since 1972. Its activities aim to satisfy the interests of all those concerned with local ornithology.

The group is open to anyone interested in birds, from expert to beginner. As a member you will be encouraged to help with the numerous surveys with which we are involved. But please note, there is no pressure on anyone to participate.
