Welcome
This is the website of the Durham Local Group. RSPB local groups are a great way to meet friendly, like-minded people in your area while learning more about birds and wildlife.
We have a full programme of events for 2023-24 including field and indoor meetings and Zoom talks.
We also have a Group page on iNaturalist featuring images taken on our field meetings. Read our profile and view the images.
