Kent Ornithological Society 
All members are welcome to join us on any of the field trips below. A good chance for experienced birders to meet other enthusiasts or visit new sites and for beginners to benefit from expert guidance.

Depending on recent sightings, weather, wind direction and tide, the location of field meetings is decided two days prior to the outing. Participants can stay as long as they would like. Field Trips are always a full day.
Bring adequate clothing, boots and at times wellies. On rare occasions sun hats and sun cream. Packed lunch, flask and water are essential, as we do not stop at shops or cafes.
We will stop at available toilets when possible. We cater for both beginners and experts and have a policy of understanding what species a bird is and why. We often look at birds’ present and previous distribution. We explore erstwhile names and who birds are named after.
Please be aware that spending time outdoors can involve certain risks, such as uneven ground, changing weather, slips or trips, insect bites, and contact with plants or wildlife. By taking part, you accept these natural risks and agree to take care while walking, wear suitable footwear, and follow any guidance from the walk leader. Your safety is important to us, and we encourage you to enjoy the walk responsibly.
We enjoy ALL other wildlife including plant life and take our time at sites, not rushing around. As an item of fun we keep a daily bird list record high of 98, lowest 62.
