Next Presentation at Centre - a new Gordon Yates DVD - "Raptors"

Golden eagle by Gordon Yates
We are delighted to be able to welcome back Gordon and Pauline Yates (who are visiting Islay for the 91st time this month).  We have a real treat for us in store this time with a showing of their new DVD entitled "Raptors" which will feature no fewer that 16 birds of prey and owls, many of which were filmed on Islay. 
The showing will take place from 7.30 on Thursday 23rd February at the Natural History Centre in Port Charlotte and will immediately follow our AGM, which is usually legendarily brief. 
Everyone is welcome, as are donations to the INHT.  We will be rattling our bucket enthusiastically...
Hope to see you there...

Next Talk - Peter Roberts on the Serengeti Ecosystem

The Trust is delighted to welcome back Peter Roberts for our next talk at the Centre - on 29th March 2011.  Peter tells us he will be: "illustrating how wonderful the place is - a large, easily understood ecosystem that still has all essential bits in place - all the big game including the centrepiece of the wildebeest migration, plus all the other big game animals.  There are lots of bright and wonderful birds and of course the "Cradle of Mankind" with the Olduvai Gorge and Leakey's early hominids."

Peter has visited Tanzania 25 times, including 21 trips to the Serengeti conducting wildlife safaris.  It promises to be a great evening...

The talk will be preceded by our AGM, (which we have traditionally kept as short as possible!).  This will include a concise overview of the year, and giving members an opportunity to raise any pertinent issues.  Looking forward to seeing you there.
