British Birds of Prey - an illustrated talk by Ian McGuire

Wild Owl - educating on the conservation of British owls

An Introduction the British Birds of Prey - an illustrated talk by Owl Conservationist Ian McGuire

Did you know that the honey buzzard has scaly features around it’s face to protect it from bee stings as it searches for grubs in bee nests? This and other interesting facts will enthrall anyone who has an interest in our birds of prey.

Many species are persecuted by humans and we take a look at these issues, plus the schemes that conservation organisations like the Hawk and Owl Trust, RSPB etc have devised to protect our raptors and encourage them to breed, such as peregrine wardening and radio-tagging schemes.

An introduction to British birds of prey is a talk that introduces all of the breeding raptors in the UK, plus the few winter visitors.

This talk is crammed full of fascinating facts and figures on the wide group of hawks, buzzards, harriers, eagles, falcons and kites that can be found in England, Scotland and Wales.
