Bustarding out all over

So far, so good with our indoor meetings. 

As David Waters said at our October meeting, why go to Antactica to see exotic bird life when it's right here on our doorstep?  Anyone who enjoyed his talk about the Great Bustard project on Salisbury Plain will have been absolutely astounded at these amazing creatures.  Supposedly something like a goose but to my mind much more like a flying super-turkey - which may be why they were hunted to extinction in the 19th century.

You can help keep this project going in all sorts of ways, from just £10 to adopt a chick up to as far as your generosity will take you.  How can you resist? 

Find out how and why on our Talks/Whatyoumissed page.

    If it's not me, Elizabeth Forbes, website editor (keen but ignorant), I'll say so.
