What a load of Rubbish! - the blight of marine litter, presented by Ian Humphreys, Tidy Northern Ireland:
Last summer was memorable
for superb weather, Andy Murray winning Wimbledon, and tons of
rubbish dumped on our coastline by unthinking day-trippers.
Unfortunately, Copeland Bird Observatory is perfectly situated to
receive much of the flotsam floating down Belfast Lough. In November,
a team of CBO volunteers removed over twenty bin-liners full of
rubbish from the island. Ian Humphreys explains some projects that
Tidy NI are directing to combat this modern day scourge.
The birds and wildlife of
Kenya a photographic tour - presented by Peter Munro
Peter relates the
story of a 2 week Photographic Birds & Wildlife safari in Kenya.
Arriving with heavy rains in mid-November - just as a severe 2 year
drought ended - Peter was presented with a refreshed landscape
teeming with wildlife. His talk will be illustrated with a quite
stunning portfolio of photographs of the birds, mammals (big &
small), flowers & butterflies he encountered on a journey taking
in the Nairobi National Park, Mount Kenya and the Masai Mara.
Admission to CBO
winter talks at the Ulster Museum is free and open to all. The
meetings commence at 7.30 pm, and
finish at 9.50 pm. Please use the Stranmillis Road entrance.
