RSPB – Wildlife Walks and Talks Near Ramsbottom
The RSPB Bolton Local Group runs regular wildlife walks and nature talks across the area, and they’re looking for people to help organise events.
You don’t need to be an RSPB member or a bird expert to join their meetings. They host speakers throughout the year – upcoming talks include Brian White presenting ‘Wild Costa Rica’ on Thursday 12th February, focusing on the Resplendent Quetzal and Firey Throated Hummingbird.
The group needs volunteers to help arrange walks and events. They’re offering full training and support if you’re interested in getting involved.
More details are available on their website, and they run a Facebook group for the latest news and updates.
Anyone local been along to one of their events? Would be good to hear what they’re like.
How you can take part in the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch 2020
Did you know that the RSPB’s Big Garden Birdwatch is the world’s BIGGEST garden wildlife survey?
Each year the birdwatch attracts almost half a million participants who spend just an hour counting birds that visit their garden.

A couple of years ago I spent some time making 360 degree style photos of areas in Ramsbottom. Most of the time I tried to cover areas where Google Street View doesn’t and almost all of the photos I took were when I was taking a walk with my son.
You might notice some familiar places, like Ramsbottom Train Station, House of Beer and Market Place.
You can check out all of my photos here on the Ramsbottom 360 Album which I’ve been adding to over time.
Tre Ciccio Ramsbottom Opening Night – Verdict?
The newest and highly lauded restaurant Tre Ciccio has finally opened in Ramsbottom. Tre Ciccio Ramsbottom is the third restaurant to open in just a few short years for Tre Ciccio.
Originally planned for opening late 2018, the opening had to be pushed back to late February 2019, I understand primarily due to the over running renovation works. So has the wait been worth it?
