    • The Cornwall BirdWatching and Preservation Society is a conservation body dedicated to the preservation and enjoyment of birds in the county of Cornwall, England, UK. The society is involved in the management of six reserves, and provides news of bird sightings in Cornwall through its website.


    History


    The CBWPS was formed as a result of an appeal published in the Western Morning News on 3 October 1930. This was followed by a meeting held in Truro on 17 January 1931 chaired by Lt. Col. B. H. Ryves with the aim of creating a society of bird lovers in Cornwall. The proposal was accepted and officers elected, and the first Executive Committee Meeting was held on 6 February and the first General Meeting on 28 March that year.
