Trip reports
 | Saturday, 21 May 2011 A nice sized turnout at The Ted Ellis Memorial Trust site at Wheatfen Broad, enjoyed a lovely warm, sunny day. It was very nice to see a few new faces to add to some of the "regulars". More... |

 | Saturday, 7 August 2010 A Visit to Cley Norfolk Wildlife Trust The heavy rain showers had cleared by the time the surprisingly small number of group members started using their bins and scopes. It turned out to be dry and warm with a gentle west wind. Ideal for the 20 spoonbills to give us a short aerial display as we strolled the shingle approaching North Hide before settling in the correct place to be viewed from the hide. The advantage of good teamwork led us to identify 54 species. More... |
 | Wednesday, 12 May 2010 Field Trip: Marriotts Way and the River Tud, Norwich On Wednesday 12 May 2010 John Butcher lead a field trip for the Norwich Local RSPB Group where we visited Red Bridge in New Costessey.

 | Wednesday, 26 August 2009 Gulls at Sidmouth Folk Festival (August 2009) "A Personal View" When I started birding I hardly looked at gulls; yes, they were there to be seen but I never even tried to differentiate between the types. Later I sorted them out and they became part of my birding experience. More... |
 | Wednesday, 12 November 2008 One of our members, Kevin, gives his account of a recent trip to Snettisham. More... |
 | Saturday, 5 April 2008 Visit to Skoma, Pembrokeshire (Spring 2008) "A Personal View" We visited the delightful small rocky island of Skoma off the Pembrokeshire coast. We immediately noticed the lack of trees although the ground was blanketed in bluebells and red campion. There were so many rabbit holes which were being used by puffin and manx shearwater. We discovered the shearwater would use the holes at night to avoid the predatory black-backed gulls. More... |
 | Thursday, 5 April 2007 Visit to Farne Island - Northumberland (Spring 2007) "A Personal View" A cluster of islands off the Northumberland coast is a photographers paradise. Arctic terns nest in large quantities and we experienced the males 'diving' towards us in an effort to protect their nests ... I would certainly recommend the wearing of headwear! More... |
