Wild Life Talk Wed 18th Mar 09
Over 30 members attended the Wild Life talk by Graham Robson. Graham is a retired farmer who lives in Marton. He has filmed wild life at a pool, in 1 acre of ground, on his site - Tithe Barn. Since this is nearby, the video reflected wild life in Warwickshire in the last two years. The main species shown were: dragonflies, Butterflies and birds.
We saw film of a stoat stealing birds eggs - the birds could not fight it off. We saw Coots chicks being fed eels. We saw Canada geese - Graham does not like these - they are very dirty. The Kingfisher was filmed perched on a special perch Graham had set up. We also saw some Lapwings - not so common now.
