Shetland
Bird Club was founded in 1973 to promote, study, conserve and record the
bird life of
Shetland. Since
then the club has published an annual report every year (the Shetland Bird
Report) and participated in numerous ornithological enquiries.
Membership
is open to anyone with an interest in the bird life of Shetland. Both beginners and experts are equally welcomed, and everyone
has an opportunity to contribute to our knowledge of Shetland birds.
The Aims of the Club
