BAKEWELL BIRD STUDY GROUP

Dr Alan Fielding – Where Eagles Fly

9th February, 7.30pm

Alan Fielding studied at Liverpool University in the 1970s and during his career as a lecturer he was active in golden eagle research including support of the re-introduction of golden eagles into Ireland and the very successful South of Scotland Golden Eagle Project. In his presentation he will show how satellite tracking has enabled us to understand a great deal more about the lives of these wonderful birds. He is still involved with consultancy and research but also likes to paint. Recently, he has worked with the Cairngorm National Park and Natural England advising on the best actions to secure healthy golden eagle populations.

Bakewell Bird Study Group’s presentation is, as always, at the Friends Meeting House at the end of Chapel Row, off Matlock Street (A6) in Bakewell, to the left of the Methodist church. Visitors are welcome, £4 on the door or you can join the group for just £7.50 for the remainder of the season up to June. For this you will get three talks and five field trips which restart in April with a trip to Burton Mere. Meetings are listed in the Peak Advertiser and at Bakewell Tourist Information Office or you can visit the BBSG website at www.bakewellbird studygroup.org.uk or call 07768 928432.
