Join WOS
Benefits of membership
WOS provides an excellent programme of both field trips and indoor meetings.
Field trips enable beginners and experts alike to enjoy bird-watching in small, friendly groups. They take place regularly throughout the year, visiting key birding areas both in Wiltshire and in other counties. A leader who is familiar with the area takes the group to the best spots and ensures that everyone sees the birds.
Indoor meetings take place between October and March and are held in Devizes. Illustrated talks are given by ornithologists, conservationsits and wildlife photographers. As well as being highly informative, the meetings are social occasions that provide a good opportunity to get to know other members.
For details of our current indoor and outdoor programmes, visit the events calendar.
All members receive WOS News, our quarterly bulletin with colour photos, news items and short articles.
Members also receive a copy of Hobby, the Society’s annual bird report, with status summaries for all common species, records of rarer birds, survey results and details of ringing observations.
WOS members are entitled to buy a copy of Birds of Wiltshire (publ. 2007) at a preferential price. Birds of Wiltshire is the definitive work on the status of Wiltshire’s birds.
