Also they now have a 
RSS feed giving the latest news.

Ah the RSPB, how could I forget them? Perhaps because I plug them on my website, but they don't plug me on theirs. One million members all targeted by advertisers for itchy underwear and denture adhesive. They have a couple of local groups at least. One based in Nottingham and the other in Mansfield.
