Western Palearctic birder - a guide to difficult species
Location: Woodside Halls (Large Hall)
Clarendon Street/Glenfarg Street
Glasgow
G20 7QD (Google map)
Our speaker this month is Ken Shaw and he will present a talk entitled Western Palearctic birder - a guide to difficult species. Ken has now retired from the RSPB but still has a passion for birds. He is recognised as one of the foremost bird watchers in the UK so we are proud that he has agreed to visit the Group. He has asked that we make it clear that his talk will hopefully have something for everyone and is NOT lots of images of rare little brown jobs!
Time: 7.30pm (doors open 7pm)
Price: £2 for Local Group members; £3 for all other visitors. Includes free cup of tea/coffee and a biscuit.
