Welcome to the
WENSUM VALLEY BIRDWATCHING SOCIETY
The Wensum Valley Birdwatching Society covers the area of the Wensum Valley between Norwich and Fakenham, see map. Formed in March 2003, the society has the following aims:-
● Encourage and share the enjoyment of birdwatching in the Wensum Valley .
● Encourage novice birdwatchers to take an active part in birdwatching.
● Share information with other members.
● Gather and collate data on birds in the area.
● Participate in regional and national surveys within the defined area.
● Liaise with other conservation groups within the area and more widely.
● To administer the society in an environmentally sensitive manner.
We organise a field trip each month, usually within the East Anglia region and on the third Thursday of each month we hold an indoor meeting, with a guest speaker, at Weston Longville Village Hall. Details of our activities are advertised in the press, parish magazines and posters. See 2008 Programme of Events
In 2004 we received an award under the National Lottery ‘Awards for All’ scheme. We used this to provide some much needed equipment, including a projector, photocopier and some binoculars for members to try out on field trips.
Membership of the Society is open to all. We currently have over 100 members managed by a small committee who each receive a monthly newsletter, download a sample copy of the WVBS Newsletter, and an annual report. We have a good mix of experienced birders and beginners and we are always happy to welcome new members, or just visitors, to any of our activities. It is our hope that our activities will foster an interest in birds and encourage a wider appreciation of our natural world. An ever more important task as more demands are being made on our environment.
