Our next talk is on Thursday 5th February and is “The Sparrowhawk”, presented by Charlotte Griffiths. It is at our usual venue, the Royal British Legion Social Club in Hardwicke.
One of our more familiar and widespread birds of prey and the species most likely to be seen in gardens, Sparrowhawks have recovered completely from the population crash in the 1950s and 60s caused by pesticides. Charlotte will talk about the behaviour and ecology of Sparrowhawks, how their populations are studied and what we have learned from the first season of surveying for ‘Cudyll Cymru’, the British Trust for Ornithology’s Welsh Raptor Monitoring Project.
Charlotte is a passionate raptor enthusiast who has dedicated many years to monitoring birds of prey as an active member of the Shropshire Raptor Study Group, where she has gained extensive field experience and in-depth knowledge. She now works for the BTO in Wales, where her role is to develop and coordinate raptor population monitoring for Cudyll Cymru.
