2 August: Ian Gasper
An illustrated talk on birds and their behaviour
This talk will cover many aspects of how birds live: their physiology (what makes them different), their movement, their feeding methods and abilities, their breeding methods and intelligence, plus migration and navigation strategies. Ian will use mainly his own wonderful photos from travels across the globe. The talk should be of interest to those with an awareness of birds to those with a keen interest.
