About the Club
The bird club was formed over 20 years ago as a forum for birders in and around Northamptonshire. The little owl (Athene noctua) was adopted as the bird club`s emblem as it was introduced into Britain by Lord Lilford, a renowned local ornithologist in the 19th century.
The club holds meetings on the first Wednesday of each calendar month at 19:30 at Moulton Sports Complex, Pound Lane, Moulton, Northants. This is part of the Moulton School campus. Access is opposite the Telegraph pub on Pound Lane. Most indoor meetings consist of a talk and slide show, mostly about birds but we do try to have one meeting a year devoted to other wildlife.

Northants Bird Club AGM - 5th March 2008
18 February 2008 - 7:46pm — John ShowersThe AGM is an opportunity to raise questions about how the club is run; make suggestions for improvements and to stand for election to the Committee. Many committee members have served for a long time and we feel new ideas and enthusiasm will keep the club moving forward. You don't have to have been a member for years, or know a great deal about birds, the key thing is to give up a little bit of time to help keep the club successful. The committee meets monthly in one of our houses and we usually have a pleasant evening discussing club and other birding matters.
