Welcome to the web pages of The Rotherham And District Ornithological Society.

 

The Society was formed in 1974 to promote an interest in wild birds through discussion, public lectures and field meetings.

 

In addition, a Charity Fund was created and RDOS has raised tens of thousands of pounds towards local and national wildlife conservation projects since its formation. 

 

Working closely with local government, RDOS has conducted surveys and provided information to assist with a variety of local environmental issues, planning applications and land management for the benefit of wild birds and wildlife in general. 

 

We fully support the work of the British Trust For Ornithology and RSPB and have carried out Common Bird Census, Farmland Bird surveys and Winter Wildfowl counts in the Rotherham area on a regular basis. 

 

Membership is open to anyone with an interest in wild birds and wildlife in general and we offer a wide range of activities for members to enjoy.  As well as regular field meetings and trips, we arrange 8 indoor meetings each year with professional speakers from around the UK.
