The Fylde Bird Club sightings page is now using an automated system. The Club welcomes submissions of all sightings of birds on the Fylde from members and non-members alike. To add your sightings please login using the username and password that is available from the Fylde Bird Club by emailing news@fyldebirdclub.org.

If you wish to report a sighting of a bird that is breeding and that you consider may be indirectly threatened through the broadcasting of its presence, you can still submit the record directly to the Fylde Bird Recorder.
