Welcome to the Pipits!

Who are the Pipits? We're an inclusive group of varying levels of experience and knowledge. Our interests focus on North American birds, but also include anything else we find in the wild spaces; plants, insects, animals, landscapes, etc. 

Our outings typically run on Sunday morning, and since September 2024, we have reduced from weekly to monthly outings.

To learn more about The Pipits, please look around this website, and feel free to reach out to Colleen Reilly, at thepipitsbirdingclub@gmail.com.

WHY JOIN THE PIPITS?

Why indeed! It's Colleen, Lead Pipit here.

I believe this group is a community of like minded individuals who are all interested in learning about, and celebrating, the existence of wild places and the lives of those organisms that live within them.

Why join us? Because you can!

Together, we can learn about nature, celebrate our connection to it and to each other, and as we build our knowledge - perhaps even have an impact on conserving and preserving these spaces.

Members will receive a code that allows them to subscribe to an annual Birds of the World membership at a 15% discount.
