The Carmarthenshire Bird Club exists to promote the observation, study and recording of the wild birds and wild-bird populations of Carmarthenshire. The club also organises meetings for its members which include field trips and talks on wildlife topics. Club meetings are an excellent opportunity to meet other birders and to visit places of ornithological interest in enjoyable company. We have over 100 members.

The club welcomes new members. Membership is available to anyone with an interest in the wildlife of Carmarthenshire. Birds don’t have to be your only, or even your principal, interest. Some of our members are enthusiastic about dragonflies, butterflies, wild plants or general wildlife. And, of course, you don’t have to live in Carmarthenshire to be a member.

Membership costs £10 a year and joint membership (for two people living at the same address) costs £15 a year. Family membership is also available. Members receive a free copy of the annual County Bird Report (worth £5) and the club newsletter which is issued every three months.
