About us
Rapphönan (“The Partridge”) is a Swedish national network for female birdwatchers. The aim is to encourage women to start birdwatching and to take an active part in the activities offered by birdwatching organisations and clubs. We also strive to get a better female representation in the boards of organisations and clubs and have over the years been very successful.
Rapphönan have local groups in different parts of the country, organizing pub evenings and excursions often in cooperation with regional or local birdwatcher´s clubs.
Rapphönan was founded the 28th of February 2009 by a group of female birdwatchers.
