Events in July
As the birding slows for the summer, we will return with the combined June & July highlights at the start of August. In the meantime there are still some great local talks and exhibitions to enjoy, details below. It is also an opportunity to thank Conor MacKenzie for compiling the monthly write-ups & Peter Barker who creates all of our superb headers throughout the year, from the wonderful photos taken by our local toggers.
