Our inaugural Ringing and Migration week
In mid-October, the observatory teamed up with Filey Bird Observatory and Scarborough Birders to host a series of free events along the Yorkshire coast. These included daily ringing demonstrations and guided walks designed to give visitors a taste of autumn migration. Often an exciting time of year, relentless westerly winds stalled substantial immigration from the east, although a Yellow-browed Warbler on the first morning was a great start. Many of the events took place at the Living Seas Centre and included a talk by Yoav Perlman on the wonders of migration through Israel.
As you can see from the programme below that it is chockablock with events on both sites from daily ringing to guided walks to an amazing list of talks by some of the areas leading birders. FBO will also have a pop up shop at the Living Seas Centre for most days of this week with our range of clothing and reports for sale and to hopefully entice more new members to the fold.
