Herefordshire Ornithological Club, one of Britain’s longest established and friendliest bird clubs, was founded in 1950 and has over 300 members. Its aims have always been the study and conservation of the birdlife in the county. We welcome everyone to contribute whatever their knowledge or experience.

What we do

We are a friendly group and the main social activities of the club are twofold; firstly field meetings with visits to important birding sites and secondly a winter programme of talks and lectures. The details of these can be found in the ‘meetings’ section and in the club’s quarterly newsletter.
