Steve hasn't been seen for weeks and we've got our fingers crossed that he'll be able to join Matt for this month's show so he can explain where he's been. Matt can tell him which birds he's missed while he's been away, and Steve can tell us which birds he's been watching instead! We'll catch up with all of the birding news in Essex and the winner of the latest photo competition will be revealed...
The available positions are as follows:
We look back at the Society's recent field trips and indoor meetings, and we reveal details of a very different limited numbers 'pop-up' event, taking place on Sunday 5th November. Finally, our good friend Mark Nowers from the RSPB returns with news of an important county-wide project that you can get involved with over the winter months.
You can see all of the entries in the video below, don't forget the winter competition will be starting soon so take your camera with you when you go out birding!
We catch up with what's been happening bird-wise throughout Essex over the summer and we look forward to a busy society schedule for the year ahead. The winner of the Summer Bird Photography Competition is revealed and there's a roundup of recent key sightings.
Links to the websites discussed during the show can be found below:
We have some superb talks planned for our indoor and online meetings, and we'll be visiting some fabulous sites for our guided field trips over the next year (book your place on the coach trips early as they're filling fast!). And don't forget the 2024 conference which is taking place in March, further details will be updated in due course.
We hope you'll be able to attend some of these events and look forward to seeing you there.
We discuss some of the key differences between Ringed, Little Ringed and Kentish Plovers. Click the video below to watch in full.
