Protest against the plume trade, London 1911

A Celebration of Birds - a talk by Peter Holden MBE.

A most enjoyable presentation illustrating Peter's 40 years with the RSPB dedicated to taking the magic of wildlife to new audiences as a "pre Kate Humble" figure on Blue Peter and Springwatch, and teamed with Bill Oddie on other television programmes aimed mainly at children.

Some hilarious old film clips were balanced by an exposition of problems still to be resolved in the conservation world, and it is clear that in "retirement", Peter will continue to spread the message in an entertaining way.
