Indoor Meeting - Wed 7th Dec, 7.30pm at Candie

There will be a quick meeting with homemade mince pies, followed at 8.00pm by an illustrated talk as Julie Davis reports back on the Barn Owl Survey and future plans. The Section welcomes anyone who enjoys Guernsey's birds. If you are not a member and are interested in joining, you need to be a member of La Société Guernesiaise. Section subs are £5 a year. You would be very welcome to come to this members' meeting and subs will cover 2023 as well.

Bird Section Subs 2023

Dear birders, 2023 Bird Section subscriptions can be paid now. Annual subs pay for costs such as the hosting of this website, nestboxes on La Societe's nature reserves and upkeep of seven public bird hides. By paying just £5, you will be supporting and promoting local birdlife. Cash or online payments only please - please email jamie.hooper@cwgsy.net for banking details. Only Societe members can technically be section members but donations from non-members are welcome too! Many thanks and happy birding.

Barn Owl Survey 2021

As part of the ongoing Barn Owl survey, we are looking to locate as many breeding sites as possible. If you know of a box, barn or natural site which is being used, please submit the details as a sighting on this website or contact the Guernsey Biological Records Centre. Tel 233571 or email: barnowlsurvey2020@gmail.com Records will be treated confidentially.

Protection for local waders

Over the last 40 years, local populations of many wading birds have plummeted and some species have been lost entirely. The long-running 'Wader Count' survey shows that disturbance is a major factor in the decline. If you agree that our waders need urgent protection at key sites, please email the States of Guernsey Agriculture, Countryside and Land Management Service (ACLMS) at this address - aclms@gov.gg
