Welcome to our website

Croydon is just one of many Local Groups formed for RSPB members. Each of these is run by volunteers who aim to promote the RSPB within their locality, recruit new members, raise funds and engage in their favorite pastime of bird watching.

Some Local members' Groups limit their numbers to RSPB members who pay an extra subscription to join them. However, the Croydon Local Group has now adopted a non-contributary Membership scheme. For decades we looked on all Croydon RSPB members as belonging to the Local Group, but printing and distributing our newsletter to nearly 400 households was eating into our annual donation to Sandy. The Autumn 2011 newsletter is the Groups first step to reduce these costs.

To register as a Local Group Member, please return the form on page 19 of the newsletter.

Send it to John Davis (address as page 2), by post or electronically, heading your email 'Croydon Group Membership'.

We hope you enjoy the contents of the newsletter and more importantly, the array of events we've planned for 2012.

Avian Pox:
We are worried by an outbreak of avian pox in the Croydon area (with reports received from Selsdon Woods and Upper Norwood so far). Anyone seeing birds, particularly Great Tits, with warty like growths up to 1cm in size should phone the RSPB 01767 69390 or e-mail wildlife@rspb.org.uk with details. This is so the extent of the outbreak can be monitored.

It may be spread by insects, bird to bird contact or contact with contaminated surfaces or water. There is no cure; extreme cleanliness could reduce it spreading. It is only found in birds, so is not a threat to humans or animals.

Google ‘RSPB Avian Pox’ to obtain more information.
