Barnsley Bird Study Group

The final meeting of the winter will be on THURSDAY 1ST MARCH 2018 at the RSPB OLD MOOR VISITOR CENTRE, starting at 7.15pm.

Professor John Reilly will deliver an illustrated talk on:
 'The Ascent of Birds: how modern science is revealing their story'

We all enjoy watching them, but how did birds first evolve and then speciate into the c.10,500 species which exists in the world today? John will provide a detailed account on the evolutionary history of birds and will also explain the origins of certain species, including some which occur locally.

This promises to be an excellent talk to finish this seasons' meetings.     

All welcome, £2.50 entrance charge and includes an interval drink.
