We hold regular outdoor meetings throughout the year which are open to everyone; from beginners to the more knowledgeable. We enjoy helping beginners and there is always someone on hand to help in identifying the birds. The venues and dates are published below and also in our quarterly Events Diary, available from the South West Regional Office.

Most of our outdoor meetings are bird watching walks in Devon, or in a neighbouring county. Roughly every three months we organise special events, including coach trips and occasional group holidays.
After each outing a member of the group writes up a report of the event. The leader of each field trip also compiles a list of birds (and perhaps other wildlife) seen on the trip. We list the birds in the sequence recommended by the BOU (British Ornithological Union), as explained here. In addition we list the birds in alphabetical order.

*** Car Sharing arrangements for Field trips***
In order to share cars for long-distance field trips and reduce our carbon footprint, we have been meeting up at the car park at Clyst St Mary for several years. However, as a results of recent imposition of parking restrictions, WE WILL NO LONGER BE MEETING THERE.
It is prooving difficult, but we are hoping to put new arrangements in place before September 2010 - please check back here for the latest update. Otherwise, please make your own car sharing arrangements with other group members, or go straight to the meeting location at the time given in the programme.
Field trips take place (more or less) whatever the weather so please be prepared with weatherproof clothing and waterproof footwear. To minimise disturbance to the birds, it is best not to bring dogs.
