Annual General Meeting followed by a talk by Melvin Smith - 'Chalk Downland'
The brief AGM will be followed by Melvin’s talk.  It was on the chalk downs of southern England where Man first settled and created the landscapes that we know so well today.  Landscapes that are rich in wildlife of every description: a natural historian’s paradise.

Patrick Coulcher – ‘Natural History of the Isles of Scilly’
The Isles of Scilly are situated within the warm Gulf Stream, have an equable climate, and support a wide range of wild flowers, some of which originate from warmer climates. Common bird species are numerous, and often relatively tame, but due to their location the Isles are famed for their migrant species.
