Ynglŷn â'r digwyddiad
Whilst we all focus on what birds look like, they often tell us who they are and where they are, even when we can’t see them. In the summer, it's likely we'll hear far more birds than we'll see, so knowing their sounds can be very useful. This talk by Keith Offord will explore the biology and function of bird sounds and how we can familiarise ourselves with the songs and calls, using examples of both common and less common species.
Keith is a professional ornithologist with a lifelong passion for birds. Keith has many years' experience leading birdwatching courses, UK breaks and overseas tours and set up a company, Wild Insights, in 2003. What's more, the ornithologist's photography has taken him all over the world and he has had numerous articles and magazine features published.
