Havergate Island in Suffolk - An RSPB Reserve
by
Will Averill
Havergate Island is famous for its breeding avocets and terns, which can be seen throughout the spring and summer. In autumn and winter, the island provides a haven for large numbers of ducks and wading birds. Boasting five hides and a viewing screen, there's great scope for birdwatching on Havergate Island. A trail cuts through the island, allowing walkers to enjoy a gentle mile and a quarter long stroll across it. The boat trip to the island adds to the interest of your day out, and helps you really feel you're getting away from it all.

North Warren in Suffolk - An RSPB Reserve
by
Will Averill
For great hiking or bird watching, RSPB's North Warren reserve near Aldebuurgh is a fantastic and easily accessible getaway. Way-marked trails lead you through a wide variety of habitats within a relatively small area. Stroll across the heathland to hear Dartford warblers and woodlarks, while bitterns and marsh harriers can be seen in the reedbeds. The wet grassland supports breeding waders and wintering wildfowl, including some of the UK's only regular tundra bean geese.

RSPB Lakenheath Fen
by
Will Averill
Twelve years ago, the land that is now Lakenheath Fen nature reserve was a carrot field with little to offer in the way of wildlife interest. Now it's a wetland area filled with life: marsh harriers, hobbies, bearded tits and warblers. It is one of the few places in the UK where golden orioles breed. There is a flexible nature trail network, four viewpoints and a visitor centre.

The Big Garden Birdwatch
by
Anna Price
The RSPB's Big Garden Birdwatch is the world's biggest bird survey with over half a million people taking part each year to help find out which birds are in need of the RSPB's conservation work. Back in 1979 the RSPB asked its junior members to count the birds in their back gardens over one weekend in January to give a snapshot of the birds that visited UK gardens. The idea was so successful that the survey has run every year since then.

Winter Time Birds
by
S. Roberts
Lots of UK birds share our winter months with us, however they can sometimes find it hard to find enough food and water. Bread isn't a natural and nutritious food for a bird, find out what you can leave out for the bird and maybe dabble in a bit of bird watching or twitching. Check out the online UK winter birds guide so that you can identify the birds that frequent your garden.

Help Save the Imperial Eagle
by
Marjory Peters
The Imperial Eagle is seen by many as the most majestic birds on the planet. Unfortunately, poachers like to steal their eggs, which means their number will dwindle extremely close to endangerment unless something is done soon.
