THE RETURN OF THE BUSTARD
by
Steve Colwill

We're pleased to welcome Steve Colwill, the Visits Manager of the Great Bustard Project. The project was set up in 1998 in south Wiltshire. Until 2019 eggs were brought in initially from Russia and later from Spain to re-establish the species in Britain after it became extinct in Victorian times through overhunting. Now a number are breeding in the wild. It promises to be a fascinating evening. 

Some of our speakers bring merchandise to sell, which might be the case tonight.
