RSPB Charity no.:207076

The RSPB is Europe's largest wildlife conservation charity and believes that birds and other wildlife enrich all our lives and are a sign of a healthy environment. With the support of more than one million members, it conserves and enhances the populations of wild birds, other wildlife and the countryside and coasts where they live. It focuses on priority species, habitats and sites and sets clear conservation objectives and actions. These include owning and managing land as nature reserves and influencing land use practices and governmental policies in order to benefit wildlife and the wider countryside. The RSPB works in partnership with many people and organisations, both in the UK and internationally.
