Thursday 1st April

Thursday 15th April
North to Alaska with Ken Chapman
A journey from the Pacific Coast to the shores of the Arctic Ocean, taking in some wonderful scenery, birds, cetaceans and other wildlife.
Thursday 22nd April
Singapore Stopover with Nick Smith
Singapore is a key stopover destination, but worthy of a longer stay. It is only a tiny island state but has a surprising amount to offer the visitor. For those interested in wildlife, the many nature reserves yield some fascinating finds, from green pigeons to miniature woodpeckers, giant lizards and much more besides. Nick will cover a four-day stopover made in March 2017 and show us some of the many birds that he saw, as well as some other wildlife and fascinating places.
Thursday 29th April
South to the Falkland Islands with John Buckingham
South to the Falkland Islands, sitting deep in the South Atlantic and only just north of the Antarctic, to enjoy much of the stunning wildlife and an exciting variety of birds. We visit in early Spring, when birds are breeding and while massive Elephant Seals fight against a backdrop of sand dunes and endless beaches. We will enjoy the bustle of massive penguin, albatross and cormorant colonies, wintering arctic waders, skuas, deceptively named Johnny Rooks, Upland Geese, FIFSD’s, Silver Teal, Dolphin Gull, Tussac-bird and bright red Military Starlings.
