A Standing Order is a regular payment of the same amount that’s paid regularly on a specified date. It allows your bank to take money regularly from your account to pay another account. You can use a standing order for many payment types, including your annual subscription to KOS.
A standing order gives you more control as you can set it up, stop or change it at any time. Many members of KOS pay their annual subscription using a Standing Order.

We welcome Standing Order payments. To set one up you need to contact your own bank and make the arrangement for an annual payment of £15 to us. If you have access to online banking, you may be able to set up a Standing Order yourself there.

Once you have completed the membership form here, you will be given the option to pay by Standing Order.

to help record and monitor bird life in Kent

The Kent Ornithological Society was founded in 1952

Our aims are to record and monitor the county’s bird life providing both an accurate historical record of Kent’s birds but equally importantly providing data that can be used to help protect valuable habitats from development and other threats.

In doing this, we seek increase knowledge and understanding of birds and their habitats in the county and encourage and support people seeking to take up birdwatching as a hobby.

Membership of the society is open to all and costs £15 a year. Members receive a free copy of the annual Kent Bird Report and regular electronic newsletters. See details

The Society runs regular online talks and an outdoor programme of field meetings. They are opportunities for both beginners and experienced birdwatchers to meet others in the county and to develop their knowledge and skills.

We are a charity regulated by the Charity Commission registered as charity number 212489.
