Monday April 6th 2020 “Birds of the Gambia”

Colin Kirtland, former RSPB Cambridge Local Group Leader, will treat us to a mixture of local colour, interesting information, amusing anecdotes and lots of bird species. The Gambia is a narrow country in west Africa surrounded inland by Senegal, with a coastal strip either side of the Gambia River estuary. Eye-catching colour from red bishops, rollers and bee-eaters will be among the highlights.

Monday May 11th 2020 “Owls”

Owls are amongst the most loved bird species. Chris Ward will look at various Owl species of the world, from tiny Pygmy Owls to Barn Owls and giant Eagle Owls. How many live in the UK? What are their adaptations and lifestyles? What do they feed on and where are they found? What problems do Owls face, and what can we do to help them? The answers will be revealed by Chris.
