The RSPB Hitchin and Letchworth Local Group (which covers Royston) is run by volunteers for people who are interested in birds and nature conservation.

I am Group Leader for Hitchin and Letchworth RSPB Local Group. Our indoor meetings are held (usually) on the first Friday of the month at “The Settlement”, Nevells Road, Letchworth commencing at 7.30pm. Each meeting incorporates a talk from a highly respected speaker: almost invariably these talks are of a very high quality. Additionally we run coach trips, usually on the 3rd Sunday of the month, to reserves and areas of high birdwatching interest in East Anglia, the South East and the Midlands. Our Annual Subscription is £9.00 and each coach trip costs £12.00. Meetings are open to non-members: visitors to indoor meetings will be admitted on payment of a £2.00 fee. We are also involved with raising money for the RSPB in a variety of other ways. The Group's web site, sponsored by the RSPB, went live on September 14th 2007: click on the link below to find out what we get up to!

In the meantime click on the following link to find out what birds we saw on our most recent outdoor meeting, a coach trip to Minsmere on June 15th. We had an amazing time there, between us finding 103 species (a club record!) including Lesser Yellowlegs, Spoonbill, Bittern, Arctic Tern, Little and Mediterranean Gulls and Bearded Tit.
