Indoor meeting - "The Birds of Lesbos

Friday, 17 October 2008

Oliver has been involved in bird ringing and wildlife photography generally for many years. This together with a recently undertaken ornithology course meant that the photos were stunning and the commentary informative, accurate and entertaining.
We had many photos of birds - booted eagle with a snake, white and black storks, common buzzard, cirl bunting, kruper's nuthatch, corncrake, little crake, baillon's crake and many many more. There were also photographs of butterflies, snakes and some of the wildflower meadows of Lesvos.
Oliver also showed how the climate affects the birds activities. And we learned the secrets of good wildlife photography - but you had to be there to find out!
Our next indoor meeting "From Cirl Bunting to Sea Eagles" is about species recovery in Britain with Dr. Tim Stowe - Director RSPB Cymru on 14th November. Parking is free and we do offer tea and biscuits so why not join us in Llandaff Parish Hall?
