About this Event

Why has a bird once almost unknown in Western Europe become a regular presence since the turn of the Millennium?

This talk explores the remarkable rise of this species since 2000, looking at the wider changes that have driven its spread and growing visibility. Along the way, speaker Mike Henry shares his personal journey into studying the bird, shaped by long-standing links with Sweden and years of involvement with Hen Harriers closer to home.

Light refreshments provided.
