I am a member. I just wondered if they ever ticket anyone.

I think that the RSPB is too cautious of creating bad publicity to go down the ticketing/clamping route - those in the shooting industry and their close friends in the media would jump at the chance of using it against them. So I suspect it might be a bluff .....

i must agree why should non members not pay at snettisham or any other reserve and if rspb need more money start charging motor home over night stay fee such as at titchwell theres normaly one there most mornings thats been there over night [for those whos up early enough to notice

Just out of curiosity how is RSPB membership going. In 2015 there were 1m members, pretty much the same as now. They are standing still! There lack of punching power (grouse moors etc) and things like astronomical parking charges are likely to be partly responsible.
People today expect communication to be much better, the RSPB are still in the dark ages, some of the bird sightings pages are so delayed it is ridiculous.
It's run like an old boys club, sadly I think it will always be that way.............

I’ve just been reading a blog by one of the RSPB members of staff on the RSPB Forums that RSPB reserve Fowlmere is going to start charging £2.00 for car park charging for non-members. It seems that the RSPB are slowly expanding more of there reserves with car park charges, where there’s no visitor centre or reception for individual admission with pay and display.

I think we've now got that the RSPB is introducing car parking charges for non-members. :cat:
I'm not a rocket scientist but I'm willing to advance an hypothesis that eventually it will be universal.

I wonder if car park charging will eventually happen if not all, but the majority of RSPB reserves.

I'm guessing their aim will be all: except where things like the land ownership considerations at South Stack prevent it.

Quite a number of RSPB reserves are leased, how will that affect car park charging at those reserves. I’m thinking along the lines of the situation at South Stack Cliffs.
