COME TO AN INDOOR MEETING
Our visiting speakers are drawn from some of the
UK's leading nature photographers and naturalists.
They will not only entertain you but also pass on
many worthwhile tips to enable you to identify birds
and take better wildlife photographs.
If you haven't been to one of our meetings why not
come to one? You may really enjoy it and you will get
much more out of your RSPB membership by joining a
local group. A warm welcome is always
assured.

COME ON A COACH OUTING
Our coach outings and weekend holidays will take you
to some wonderful nature reserves and lovely
countryside where you will be free to wander on your
own or, if you prefer, stay with the leader who will
guide you around the reserve and help you to
identify the birds. Travelling by coach is a
relaxing and environmentally friendly way to travel
with no worries about driving or parking and you
will see some amazing birds and wildlife. Look at the following photos,
which were all taken by Peter Skelson on events listed in the
2010 Lincoln Local Group 'Programme of Events'. Click

FREE COACH TRAVEL FOR CHILDREN
Throughout 2010 we are offering free coach travel
for children on all our Sunday coach outings. For
every adult seat that you pay for, you will be able
to bring one child under the age of 16, free on the
coach (any
admission charges or boat charges are still be
payable, only the coach travel is free, and you must
book all seats in advance). We realise that it can be
expensive for families to visit nature reserves so
we are making this offer to encourage more people to
bring children with them to encourage them to take
an interest in birds, wildlife and our wonderful
natural heritage. |

LINCOLN'S PEREGRINES
Peregrines nested for the first time on
Lincoln Cathedral in 2007. Three young birds
successfully fledged in 2007 & 2008 and two in 2009.
This year the peregrines nested on
the north side of the tower and only raised one
young. The RSPB Date with Nature viewpoint has now
closed for the year. Check the website in April 2011
for details of next year's event. Many thanks to
everyone who supported this year's event.

year's
event please contact Alan Flintham
