We are delighted to announce that Jon Gower will be giving a talk about his acclaimed new book, Birdland, at our AGM on October 14.
Birdland has been described as a joyous celebration of Britain’s rich birdlife. In the book, journalist and lifelong birder, Jon Gower, explores our intimate connection with the bird life around us. From the distinctive trill of the wren to the clack of a puffin’s beak to the epic migrations of swallows and house martins to spectacular starling murmurations. Sadly, all is not well with our bird species. Jon considers the effects of the climate emergency, habitat loss, the decline in biodiversity and warming oceans on birdlife and looks at work being done to mitigate these developments. But above all this book is a celebration of birds. As Great Bustards return to our plains and eagles to our mountains, Jon Gower’s book examines the future for our precious species and extends a call to arms to defend them.
