Indoor Meeting Wednesday 13th April
7.15pm - Richard Hill
will present "Firecrests"
Richard is a key contributor to the group and has
been Honorary Secretary / Annual Report editor since 1997. He is also co-editor
of the acclaimed Breeding Birds of the Sheffield Area released last year. His
birding patch is Redmires from which he has produced some significant finds
over the years and tonight he is to excite us further with his presentation on
Firecrests.
This diminutive gem of a bird has held a special
fascination for tonight's speaker since childhood. This talk documents a
personal journey of discovery taking in the species' recent history in the
UK, with particular reference to the Sheffield area.
