The Gloucestershire Raptor Monitoring Group’s next talk is on Wednesday 26th November and is “Tawny Owls – coming to a wood near you”, presented by Stephen Powles. It is at their usual venue, the Royal British Legion Social Club, Green Lane, Hardwicke, Gloucester, GL2 4QA.
Here are the details for Stephen’s talk:
Tawny Owls are often heard but rarely seen. This presentation describes the lives of these fascinating birds, much of it gleaned from a wild “Tawny” that Stephen spent many hours observing and photographing over a fifteen-year period.
Formerly a vet, Stephen changed career to pursue a lifelong passion for wildlife, wildlife photography, filming and conservation. Stephen’s material has made a number of TV appearances, featured in the national press and won major awards. His photography concentrates on interesting and challenging wildlife subjects, many of which are in and close to his home. This talk will be of interest to birders and photographers alike.
