Birding on Remote Islands

Keith Betton is a very familiar and popular visitor to the BOC over several years, always delivering fascinating stories and facts and this is no exception.

He is one of a handful of people to have seen over 9000 bird species. He will tell us about two amazing journeys he took recently:  from Argentina to South Georgia, then the remote islands of Gough, Tristan da Cunha, St Helena and Ascension, and from New Zealand to its remote islands. These are some of the most rarely visited bird locations in the world. He will share with us what he saw, and how conservationists are working to protect them.

We will be meeting in person in Room G44, in the Edith Morley Building, but you can also join remotely via Zoom if you prefer.  Please click here to join the meeting. You can join from 7.15 pm and the meeting will start at 7.30 pm.  You will be muted when you join; please stay muted except when you have been asked to unmute, for recent sightings, questions, etc.
