Past events

Summer meetings 2021

We held some socially-distanced evening walks, after Covid restrictions eased a little.

Winter meetings 2020-2021

A series of lecture meetings was held on Zoom.

Summer excursions 2020

Due to COVID-19, all planned outings were cancelled, as was our Oban Weekend.

Instead, we produced an electronic Newsletter for members, with reports and news of interesting sightings, with photos by members, weekly throughout this summer. For Autumn and Winter it is issued 2-weekly.

If you are socially isolating yourselves outdoors then take some pictures or report sightings on our Facebook page and for our Lockdown Newsletter to our Secretary. Stay safe.
