Conor’s talk reveals how this unschooled, impoverished, battle-scarred immigrant came to be so influential in the creation and rise of the modern-day conservation movement, and the “only man in the room” who supported pioneer female campaigners from the start. Conor’s talk links Hudson’s life and legacy to today and compares then and now. It’s a costume drama with plenty of birds. Conor says : “For some years now I have been immersed in restoring Hudson, a name that recurs in the literature of natural history, though the man himself remains mysterious and largely forgotten. Leafing through Hudson’s surviving letters has helped me to build a picture of the man, his milieu and his passions. One of these passions was Norfolk and its wildlife, and it is here that my life intersects with his and I find it easiest to re-imagine him.”    

 

Conor was born in Uganda, brought up in Scotland and now lives in Norfolk. He has worked in conservation for over 20 years in the UK and abroad and has written for a wide range of publications. In April 2022  he gave us a tremendous talk based on his book “Looking for the Goshawk” which was published in 2013.
