This has changed to Titchwell.
Due to lack of water and work planned by the Environment Agency at Frampton, Ian and Stewart have decided to move this outing to Titchwell. Being in Norfolk also offers the opportunity to go elsewhere if something interesting turns up.

We will meet at the same time 10.00am in the Titchwell car park which is also a RSPB reserve. We apologise for the late notice but we have been waiting to see if any rain supplemented the water on the reserve and were unaware of the EA work closing part of the sea wall.

Meet: At Titchwell reserve car park at 1000. 
Post Code: PE31 8BB.
Leaders: Stewart Short/Ian Gordon

Basing his talk on his 2025 book “NO ISLAND TOO FAR”, Michael Brooke, a previous speaker to the Club from the University of Cambridge, will take the audience to some of the world’s most isolated specks of land. Think sub-Antarctic penguins and albatrosses, petrels nesting at altitude among volcanic spires, and even Cape Verdean larks. Spanning 50 years of seabird research encompassing 40-odd islands in every ocean, the talk will celebrate the mayhem of life on distant colonies, the adventures and mishaps involved in reaching those colonies and, of course, the scientific reason for the visits that so often were accompanied by stormy seas, grim seasickness and immense human kindness.

 

Mike is the Curator Emeritus of Ornithology at Cambridge University’s Museum of Zoology. His doctorate was on Manx Shearwaters at Skokholm in Pembrokeshire. Since then he has been lucky to study seabirds all over the world. In the latter part of his career modern gadgetry has revealed in astounding detail what birds do at sea. This research provided the basis for his acclaimed book “Far from Land” which was the basis for an earlier talk he gave to the Club.
