Unraveling Bird Migration – Free Talk

Free talk by Rob Sheldon, conservationist with experience including work with the Zoological Society of London, 12 years with the RSPB, and since 2013 the Chair of the Ornithological Society of the Middle East, The Caucasus and Central Asia (OSME).

Migration is one of the wonders of the natural world. Recent technological advances has led to some fascinating insights into the migratory behaviour of a wide range of species that occur in the UK and elsewhere. This talk will draw upon examples of migration from around the world. It will discuss the technology that scientists are using such as satellite tagging that have unveiled the amazing and hazardous migratory journeys of iconic species, as well as discuss some of the challenges they face.

Talk to commence at 7pm, following the AGM. Open to all. FREE admission sponsored by John Beaufoy Publishing & Jetwing Safari Camp Yala.
