All are out-of print, except that printed copies of Ponsonby (1978) may be available on request to Andy Swan (free of charge). However, the Society is also scanning copies of selected old papers on to this website. Click here for details.

BIRD WATCHING IN THE SOUTH OF FRANCE
Dave Burges, who for many years sent in bird sightings on Black Down, has now moved to live in France.  To our members he says that if anyone is passing through the Orb Valley, near Montpellier, in future they are welcome to get in touch by e-mail.  He could give them some top tips on birding hotspots in the area and, Covid-19 permitting, possible offer of accommodation too.
