Welcome to our new group website
This is the website of the Oxford Local Group. We have regular monthly indoor meetings locally throughout the year and day-trips far and near to sites of interest to birders. RSPB local groups are a great way to meet friendly, like-minded people in your area while learning more about birds and wildlife.
Upcoming Events
Our full Talks and Trips programme for September 2023 through to July 2024 is now available.
