Ornithological Society

The Ornithological Society (BirdSoc) is one of our newer societies formed for those with a passion for birds and birding.

Facebook Page Website

BirdSoc is the society for anyone interested in bird watching and wildlife, of all levels of interest and knowledge. We run regular birding walks, workshops to develop your skills, day trips, bird ringing demos, research talks and socials - creating a growing community of young bird enthusiasts here at the university!
