Wildlife

We're about more than just birds (though obviously we like them a lot).

This weekend...something to bear in mind

Notes on nature

We love nature... from every little bug on a blade of grass to birds, butterflies, otters and oaks!

This weekend...something to bear in mind

The RSPB. Otherwise known as the Royal Society for the Protection of, err, Bears?!

Yep, that's right, as well as tackling the problems that threaten birds, we also help protect bears.

Our work in Sumatra helps protect some amazing wildlife, including sun bears - the world's smallest bear. And possibly the cutest too, if this image is anything to go by!

While Sumatra is a little far to go for the weekend, you can celebrate bears a little closer to home this Sunday, which is officially 'teddy bear picnic' day.

Simply pack up a hamper of treats, gather together friends, family and your favourite stuffed toy, and have a picnic on one of our reserves.

Guaranteed fun for eveyone....
