We have around 30 RSPB reserves in the South East, and we know many of you love to escape to the countryside with us to visit them, but have you ever taken a closer look at the wildlife on your own doorstep?
Our Date with Nature events are aimed at helping people spot the wildlife around them; from peregrines perched on urban buildings, to goshawks nesting high in a forest canopy, or herons nesting in a busy city centre!
Our South East Date with Nature events are free to visit, so why not find one near you this summer?

High above the streets, watch peregrines perch on the iconic Tate Modern building and witness one of our fastest hunters at work.
