September 17th A Journey to the Hebrides, by Paul Hale
We stop off in Teesdale for Black Grouse on our way north to the Inner and Outer Hebrides including St Kilda, a dual World Heritage site for both its culture and nature. On our journey we see a range of species from Golden Eagle to Corncrake, from Otter to St Kilda wren, not to mention a range of breeding seabirds. We also look at the lifestyle of the St Kildans and somehow end up at a whisky festival on Islay.
A short AGM will be held this afternoon.
October 15th Camouflage and Pretence by Melvin Smith
Why is that creature that colour? How do they know what colour they are?
A thought provoking, and sometimes amusing, look at the way evolution has produced the creatures which we see around us today.
