Last night, on Monday 20 March 2017, I did my second talk at Timsbury Nats called Born to Bird: Antarctica and Beyond. They are on the other side of the Chew Valley, where I live. My ringing trainer Mike Bailey lives there and is involved in the group.
They are such a lovely group, who sent me a card signed by the whole committee, when I was being victimised by islamaphobic trolls. I think that's why I love talking to local nature groups so much.
My talk was about my world birding trips from 2014 onwards, including Antarctica. The last time I spoke for them was October 2014, 2 1/2 years ago, so I think I've improved a bit since then! It was really great to write and give an almost completely new talk, so let me know if I've talked to your group before but you would like me back.
The first photo is me jumping into a pool full of icy seawater, an Antarctica tradition and the second and third are of me getting up close to a Gentoo Penguin.
