Birds in Winter - Peter Holden MBE

Our speaker for the November indoor meeting will be Peter Holden MBE
Peter Holden was instrumental in developing and promoting the first 'citizen science' project in the UK — Big Garden Birdwatch — in 1979. Initially for children, Peter's vision enabled him to see the potential in extending the project to people of all ages. Now established as the world's largest citizen science project, involving up to half a million participants monitoring millions of birds every year, it connects people with the wildlife outside their windows.
Peter has worked for over 40 years with the RSPB, he has written nine books, including the highly-acclaimed RSPB Handbook of British Birds and the recently published RSPB Handbook of Garden Wildlife. Peter is an authority on winter bird behaviour in the UK. He has contributed to various books and talks on birds, including migration of UK birds, how to care for and identify them in winter. This will be a fascinating talk not to be missed!
Doors open at 7:30pm.
Free to group members, guests welcome £3.00 on the door.
