The Gower Ornithological Society (GOS) is a dedicated bird club serving the communities of Gower, Swansea, and Neath Port Talbot. Established in 1957, GOS aims to promote the conservation and study of wild birds through various activities, including participation in national bird surveys, local ornithological research, and educational initiatives. The society organizes guided walks, educational talks, and publishes the annual report Gower Birds, which documents ornithological findings in the area.

GOS plays a pivotal role in collaborating with the Gower Ringing Group, contributing to the collection of long-term data sets essential for understanding local bird populations. Members are passionate about bird conservation, evidenced by initiatives that have halted harmful practices such as the culling of oystercatchers. With over 70 members, GOS continues to thrive, offering support and resources for those interested in ornithology, along with maintaining a repository of bird sightings and event information, fostering a vibrant community of bird enthusiasts.
