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'.

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.
