Ken Sutton from North West Surrey RSPB shares his love of birds and invites you to join them
Surrey is an excellent county for birds. Our magnificent heathlands hold uncommon species like Nightjar and Dartford Warbler. Parklands, rivers, woods, and gardens all hold a great variety of birds.
Many Surrey residents are members of the RSPB, wit its total membership exceeding a million. One of the ways the RSPB sends its message is through its 134 local groups around the country. Ours is the North West Surrey local group and we cover Weybridge, Woking, Staines, Egham, Chertsey, and surroundings areas. We are this year celebrating our 50th birthday and continue to thrive.
We have a programme of outdoor meetings both weekdays and weekends at bird watching sites both locally and further afield. Our members cover a range of birdwatching skills, the only requirement being enthusiasm for nature. These walks are fun and relaxed and we always see a good range of birds and other species. We also have a programme of indoor meetings where quality indoor speakers give an illustrated talk on a variety of nature related topics. Another string to our bow is a series of talks that we give to local groups such as U3A and Wls. Some cover our Surrey birds, others outside the county or indeed overseas.
If you would love to connect with nature and spend time with like minded people contact a committee member, try an outdoor walk or indoor meeting. You will be most welcome – no payment or donation is requested on your first meeting. Details at Home – North West Surrey Local Group and (6) RSPB North West Surrey Local Group | Facebook
