A birdwatching group made by women for women.
Welcome to Birds & The Belles, a vibrant community that aims to maximise the birdwatching experience for women. Our mission is to nurture an inclusive birdwatching group. One where women can connect, learn, and truly enjoy the brilliant world of birdwatching without barriers.

We’re dedicated to empowering women in the birdwatching world by enhancing their experience, representation, and safety.
We recognise that the outdoors can sometimes feel intimidating, especially for women. Our aim is that every woman feels safe and empowered to explore nature and engage in birdwatching to its fullest.
At Birds & The Belles, we believe representation matters. We strive to elevate the voices of female birders and provide them with the recognition they deserve in what has often been a male-dominated field.

Whether you’re a seasoned birdwatcher or just starting out, our birdwatching group is made for you.
Join us in nurturing a supportive network where women can connect, learn, and share their passion for birds. Together, we can make a difference in the birdwatching community and inspire future generations of female birders.
