Make a note in your diary - after a long hot summer, Sandwich Bay Bird Observatory Trust’s Thursday evening talks will be starting again on 18 September!

SSBOT look forward to welcoming you back to hear from some great speakers on some fascinating subjects.

Most talks will mainly be about birds but there are other wildlife subjects included, such as dragonflies, flowers and the mink eradication project. The talk programme also covers lots of different countries, with one in November taking you on a whistle-stop tour around the world in 80 minutes!

Talks begin at 7:30pm. Tickets are £5 per person on the door (includes tea or coffee and biscuit).
