Provide news of local ornithological interest through the medium of a monthly bulletin, an annual report and other publications to which members will be invited to contribute from their own observations.

To encourage and instruct younger or less experienced members in various ways, particularly by means of organised field work and monthly meetings.

To engage in such scientific work, e.g. census or migration studies, as may from time to time be approved by the committee.
