SUMMARY:Thursday Lecture - The Wonders of Bird Migration
DESCRIPTION:9th October - The wonders of Bird Migration by John Buckingham \nMany birds make incredible seasonal journeys\, including some that travel from Arctic breeding grounds to winter in the distant southern oceans around the Antarctic. In the UK we sit on an important flyway for many migrant species and here at the Observatory ringing has revealed much of what they accomplish. We see summer and winter visitors\, and many passage migrants stopping off with us during their awe-inspiring travels. \nWhich birds migrate? Why do they do it? Where do they go and how do they accomplish such amazing feats of endurance. These and other questions will be answered during John’s fascinating and well-illustrated talk. \n£5 per person including a hot drink and a biscuit - payable at the door on the night.

SUMMARY:Thursday Lecture - Lighthouse Birding
DESCRIPTION:23rd October - Lighthouse birding by Norman McCanch \nBack in the latter half of last century\, Norman spent nearly four years working as a Lighthouse keeper with Trinity House\, serving in a number of sites around England and Wales. This gave him plenty of opportunity for studying birds and other wildlife as a general pastime. Today there are no manned lighthouses in Britain so this way of life has ended. The birds\, however\, are still there and for Norman lighthouses are still magic places. \n£5 per person including a hot drink and a biscuit - payable at the door on the night.
