BRITISH GARDEN BIRDS
TALK BY COLIN MCSHANE
1-2pm at AAINA HUB (Bath Rd, next door to the Garden)
The talk will concentrate on the birds people will most see in gardens or parks. Colin will tell us how to identify them and what the key differences with similar species are, and spice it up with plenty of other bird facts. There will be a chance to ask your own questions about garden birds in preparation for Big Garden Birdwatch the following weekend.
Colin McShane runs a small volunteer group called Belvide Ringers who catch and ring wild birds to tag them under licence to the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO). They have been doing this for 40+ years during which time we have ringed in excess of a quarter of a million birds in the UK and several other countries around the world.
