The use of Zoom makes it easy to join any regional BTO conferences and see some quality presentations.

The joint BTO and Lincolnshire Bird Club conference takes place tomorrow Sat 30th Jan, presentations include ones on Black-Tailed Godwits and what should be an interesting talk on noc-mig recording.

On Saturday 6th March the BTO conference for Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire takes place, including presentations on Goshawks, Short-Eared Owls and (of relevance to our mosslands in GM) the conservation of breeding Curlews in lowland England.

Both of these cost just £5
BTO events

Hi Dave,

The reason the link doesn't work is because the web link input button on the forum has an out of date prefix http:// If you clear this from the box and input the link directly from your web browser it includes the secure website prefix of https:// and you get this Sparrowhawks - 30 years of Research a talk by Ian Newton

Alternatively you can go directly to the talk on You Tube

Although the link buttons on this page of the forum have been replaced by white boxes so you have to hover over each one to find the Link/URL button biggrin

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. It looks an interesting talk. I've just started reading Ian Newton's book on Uplands and Birds which is a really compelling read for anyone with an interest in our upland birds and how their current distributions and status has been influenced by Man's activities over the centuries.

Steve
