The SOC is excited to present a free online conference in collaboration with the Scottish Birds Records Committee (SBRC), a sub-committee of SOC Council that was set up in 1984 to ensure that all unusual Scottish records are fully assessed prior to being accepted for publication.

The conference, to be held across the evenings of February 24th to 26th, will be free to join, with three talks in each session. Come along and forget the dark, wintery February nights with us while we talk about one of the most exciting aspects of birding in Scotland and beyond!

Programme

The conference programme, put together by SBRC, will focus on rarities and rare bird recording:

    Under 16 and planning on attending the event?

    While the talks are aimed at the more experienced birder, the conference is open for all to attend. It's pitched at adult level but young birders are very welcome to join too! If you are under the age of 16, we require written consent from both you and a parent or guardian for your participation in any online event. Staff at SOC will be in touch with your parent/guardian in due course to facilitate this and team look forward to welcoming you to the event.
