About this Event
We will meet David Scott in the car park at Journey’s End.
He will have his weighing, ringing & paperwork set up to record all the birds which are rung.
Last time we heard a Lesser spotted woodpecker closeby & saw a pair of Crossbills flying over as well as ringing many varieties of birds.
He is a fountain of knowledge and is always happy to share his expertise if asked.
David is also a renowned wildlife artist - be sure to check out his website to see his stunning work.
David Scott eats, sleeps, and breathes nature every day. His passion and knowledge as a licensed bird ringer and satellite tagger are reflected in his involvement with conservation programmes for a variety of species, helping us to better understand how to conserve them. He does regular trips up to Cumbria & the Yorkshire Moors, where estate owners gain immense knowledge from him as to caring for the ground nesting birds year round.
