LECTURE AT LONDON WETLAND CENTRE ABOUT SKOMER ISLAND & WHY IT IS SO POPULAR WITH PUFFINS & OTHER BIRDS
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 the birds and wildlife in Alastair McKay's lunchtime lecture, "Birds & Wildlife of Skomer." The same speaker, some of you will remember, spoke about Gambian wildlife in a London Wetland Centre event, which we listed early last month.
Attendees will learn about Skomer Island, why
there are so many Puffins as well as other breeds of birds there plus much more. Admission
