Next Meeting
The
next Meeting will be on Thursday 2nd February. The meeting
will start with a Special General Meeting to address some matters not finalized at the
2011 AGM. Graham Anderson will then tell us about ‘Life in the Dark’, about Australian
Swiftlets roosting and breeding in caves at Chillagoe in north Queensland. Then Jon
Norling will give us an alternative look at African birds, from his experience
traveling in Kenya, Tanzania and Cape Town last September. And he will focus on
some families and species less familiar to us.
