Our exciting annual competition for both experienced and budding photographers. There are the usual three categories of Flight/action, Portrait and Birds in Berkshire with prizes for 1st and 2nd and the overall winner being presented with the Gordon Langsbury Cup.

Come along to the social for tasty seasonal refreshments, a quiz and a short talk from David Massie on a trip to Vietnam.

This talk is based on Michael’s best-selling book of the same name. It reveals our resident British owls in folklore and fact. It looks as various owls and the special techniques they have to help them hunt. It dispels misleading myths and reveals the realities of an owl’s life. The talk is illustrated with dramatic high-speed photographs of flying owls.
