Welcome to the Argyll Bird Club’s website

The following pages provide you with information about our club and about bird watching in Argyll. We hope the website will encourage you to visit this fascinating part of Scotland

The website was launched in May 2004 and we apologise for the many sections that have yet to be completed.

The website contains pdf files. To be able to read/download these files you should have Acrobat Reader (version 6 or higher) installed on your computer. This software can be downloaded free of charge from Adobe’s website. PDF format has rapidly evolved into a worldwide standard for document distribution. It is cross platform and equally supported by Windows, Apple Macintosh and Unix and is becoming increasingly valuable for reading documents online, including our newsletter (The Eider).

The website was last updated on 23rd April 2008
