Join our group
RSPB local groups are a great way to meet friendly, like-minded people in your area while learning more about birds and wildlife.
Our upcoming events
Indoor Meetings:
Our indoor meeting season will be resumed in September.
Field Trips:
These may have to be changed or cancelled at short notice, e.g. due to weather or ground conditions. Therefore, you must always phone the trip leader a few days before the trip to check the final details and book on to the trip. If the trip leader does not know you are coming, they cannot let you know of any last-minute changes to the trip.
COVID-19 and preventing the spread:
Before an event, it is advised to take a lateral flow test on the day of the event.
If car-sharing or attending an indoor meeting, please wear a face mask.
If you have any questions, please email
