The Birds (and other animals) of Glasgow

I shall be presenting an illustrated talk entitled ‘The Birds (and other animals) of Glasgow’ to a local group of the Scottish Wildlife Trust on Thursday 11 October 2012. The venue is the Lesser Town Hall, Milngavie (directly opposite Milngavie railway station). The talk will commence at 7.30pm.

The talk will examine two key areas of the City – Bishop’s Estate (in north east Glasgow) and the Kelvin-Canal Triangle. It will touch on the importance of habitat management and illustrate examples of habitat creation.

Whilst concentrating on birds, the talk will also cover butterflies, damselflies and a few mammals.
