The club was formed in 1985 by a group of keen birdwatchers to promote bird watching in Fife and its neighbouring areas.

RSPB Firth of Forth Seabird Cruises

 

The RSPB will be running a series of cruises on the Firth of Forth over the summer period from mid-May to mid-July 2009 (check the Links page for dates).

The cruises give people the opportunity to get fabulous views of seabirds including puffins, guillemots, razorbills, eiders, terns as well as possibly skuas and red-throated divers. There is also the possibility of seeing seals and dolphins too!

 Check the Links page for details of the project.

In April we showed Tree Sparrows at a likely nesting spot in Dalgety Bay.  They are not very common in this area so we are happy to report that they have now bred successfully, with young seen in gardens nearby. 

This adult on a sailing dinghy may be contemplating a life at sea after all its efforts!
