Mark has been birding in Wiltshire for many years though it’s harsh to suggest he was birding here in Victorian times. He has however carried out extensive research into Wiltshire’s birds of that era, citing the work of famous naturalists Richard Jefferies and W H Hudson who were at large in the Wiltshire countryside at that time. Mark will cover species no longer present in Wiltshire together with those still here but in larger numbers. Mark’s infectious enthusiasm and passion for local history will make this a talk to remember.
