All our activities are available to non members who we hope will eventually join the RSPB
On bird watching trips the main consideration must be for the welfare of the birds and care should be taken to avoid any action that may disturb them. This is most important when birds are nesting.
A "Notes for Birdwatchers" leaflet is available from the Outings Organiser.
All of our activities are available to non members who we hope will eventually join.
Please remember to bring your membership cards with you when visiting reserves otherwise a charge will be made.
