The BOU is a community of ornithologists which has been running for over 160 years.
As a not-for-profit charity, the BOU is reliant on its members to help plan and deliver much of what we do.
So, who are our members? Why did they join? And what do they do? Meet some of our great members, including some of the people behind the BOU and IBIS.
