BREAKING NEWS – SOS NOTICES
- Annual Bird Reports Available Free of Charge. We have been contacted by a member who is “downsizing” and has SOS Annuel Bird Reports from 2012-2023 which he is willing to donate to a member free of charge as an alternative to recycling them. He can deliver them within about 15 miles of Shrewsbury or they can be collected. If you would like these volumes, please contact the SOS web administrator by email and you will be put in touch with the donor.
