Ceylon Bird Club

Ceylon Bird Club, established in 1943, is a premier organization dedicated to the study and conservation of birds in Sri Lanka. With its origins rooted in a commitment to share and preserve the avian fauna of the island, the club was founded by prominent ornithologists, G. M. Henry and W.W.A. Phillips, along with seven other members. The club serves as a pivotal resource for bird enthusiasts through various offerings, including a comprehensive Sri Lanka Bird List, information on endemic and threatened species, and a platform for sharing observations and research findings.

Members can participate in activities such as breeding bird surveys, waterbird censuses, and recording rare species. The Ceylon Bird Club also provides educational resources and articles, promoting conservation efforts and guiding birdwatching adventures across Sri Lanka. Whether you are a seasoned ornithologist or a casual birdwatcher, the Ceylon Bird Club invites you to join its mission of appreciating and protecting the rich avian diversity of Sri Lanka.
