![]() ![]() |
The
Society was formed initially as a section of the Leicester Literary and
Philosophical Society in 1941, but soon outgrew its parent Society and
became established in its own right. Since then LROS has gone from strength
to strength and now has more than 500 members, mostly from Leicestershire
and Rutland, but also from surrounding counties and around the country. |

![]() ![]() The 'old' Newsletter |
Our monthly newsletter, The Grebe, is the Society's regular contact with its members. It provides information on events, surveys, conservation issues and birdwatching sites, as well as a full set of field notes for the previous month's sightings. It also features news from neighbouring counties, tips on where to look and what to look for, trip reports and the 'stop press' latest bird news. Most of all, it is the soapbox from which any members can air their views to a like-minded (or not, as the case may be!) readership, exchange ideas, contact others, etc. For further details, or to submit an article for The Grebe, contact the Editor, (contact details). |

This
is the Society's main publication. It is a detailed report of the previous
year's sightings of each species recorded in the County, and is usually
published by the autumn. A copy is automatically sent to every member;
non-members can purchase copies at LROS Sales.
The systematic list is compiled by the Editorial Committee from up to
20,000 records a year, and includes tables, counts and breeding details,
as well as a mention of each species' current status. It also contains
other articles of interest, such as weather notes and survey results,
and is enhanced by line drawings and colour photographs. |
