HEAR ALASTAIR McKAY'S LECTURE ABOUT ANIMALS AND WETLANDS OF GAMBIA, BEFORE OR AFTER GUIDED TOUR, AT LONDON WETLAND CENTRE
According to their website, the London Wetland Centre is, 'the largest international wetland conservation charity in the UK' and you have a chance to visit it today and, either before or after a 90-minute guided tour of the Centre, you can learn something about Gambia in Alastair McKay's lunchtime lecture, "Wildlife & Wetlands of Gambia." Attendees will learn why not only tourists are attracted to the country but also a range of birds are keen on the river that flows right through the country, the Gambia River.
Several weeks earlier, Alastair gave another
lecture entitled, "History & Wildlife of St Kilda." and he will be giving
another one early next month entitled, "Birds & Wildlife of Skomer"
