Message: <blockquote data-quote="IAN JAMES THOMPSON" data-source="post: 3230882" data-attributes="member: 97839">I don't have my own transport as I can't drive. But I joined my local RSPB Group, as I have one very near to where I live and they have bird watching field trips by coach every month of the year except August as well as local guided midweek walks as well as some on Saturday most months of the year along with indoor meetings. I would recommend anyone whether it be an RSPB Group or any other to join their local bird Group if your interested as I've made a lot of very good friends with the same interest and I get trips to RSPB reserves and also non RSPB areas all over the region as well as an annual 7 day birdwatching holiday in the UK, which this May was to North Wales, in 2014 it was to the Orkneys and in June 2016 it will be to the Isle of Wight. I've got myself actively involved by joining my local RSPB Group and I've never looked back. And it's great that the RSPB has local birdwatching Groups all over the UK with local RSPB members with the same interest. In fact I wish I had joined much much earlier than just over 2 years ago.Ian.</blockquote>
