Suffolk is famous for the return of the avocet to breed at Havergate Island and Minsmere, the latter now the RSPB’s flagship reserve and a stronghold of the endangered bittern.
At Lakenheath Fen, the RSPB has transformed carrot fields to a wetland nature reserve attracting bearded tits and cranes.
Fields and heaths in the Brecks are home to stone-curlews. Clearings in Thetford Forest are strongholds for woodlarks and nightjars, as are the coastal forest and Sandlings heaths.
Over 17,000 people around the UK give their time for the RSPB. Listed below are just a few ways you can volunteer in the local area.
