KOS is delighted to announce that members can now show their support for the society by purchasing and wearing a range of quality clothing displaying our KOS logo. Whether it is cool or warm there will be something suitable from our new partnership with Kent based and family run company ‘Logo That Polo’ for any birder wishing to show they are a member and KOS supporter.

There is a choice of garments and a range of colours, all with our iconic KOS Sandwich Tern logo designed by the well-known Kent bird artist – and a long time KOS member - Stephen Message. Using a sustainable sales model, every garment is sourced and branded to order so there will be no unsold clothing sitting wasted on shelving. All order processing is carried out by ‘Logo that Polo’ and a percentage of the income from sales is passed to KOS.

KOS Chair Andre Farrar: “I’m so grateful to our growing membership for all the support you give to KOS. I’ve often been asked if we could show off our logo on some merchandise – and now we can! As well as making KOS more visible across the county, each purchase helps to raise funds for the Society. “

To view the store please visit https://logothatpolo.co.uk/store/kosoc/ or follow the link from the website menu.

Please remember that as every item is produced to order it is essential to use the sizing guides available on the store website for each item.

A seasonal reminder

The breeding season has already started for some species and we need to avoid disturbing birds near their breeding sites. This is particularly important for scarce breeding species. For species listed on Schedule 1 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act it is an offence intentionally to disturb them at an active nest site.

It is inadvisable to share information of breeding locations and we should be avoided posting information or photographs of sensitive species online or though Social Media.

All birder and photographers are reminded to follow the birdwatchers code:
