SUMMARY:The Eurasian Hobby and its breeding in the Cotswolds by Richard Tyler
DESCRIPTION:We had such wonderful views of hobbies catching dragonflies at Bourton gravel pits in September 2025. This talk will tell us more about these delightful birds\, dubbed the 11 o’clock bird by Tim Fretter. \nRichard Tyler  is a lifelong birder and photographer who lives on the Cotswolds and has studied Hobbies there for many years.\nWith great patience – and with help from landowners and gamekeepers – he has found many territories and nest sites. \nRichard will share his detailed knowledge of this notoriously secretive species\, and show his remarkable photos of Hobbies in and around their nests. \n

SUMMARY:Uncovering the mysteries of Leach's Storm-petrels by Connie Tremlett
DESCRIPTION:Connie Tremlett will speak on the work she is doing with Mark Bolton for the RSPB. Mark Bolton is a Principal Conservation Scientist for the RSPB\, renowned for his pioneering research on UK seabirds\, including Leach’s Storm-petrels. \nTheir work has fundamentally shifted the understanding of these elusive birds through       groundbreaking tracking and monitoring projects. \nConnie says\, ‘Leach’s Storm-petrel is one of the UK’s most mysterious seabirds\, breeding on just a handful of remote Scottish islands. Their cryptic behaviour makes them challenging to study\, but alarming population declines are becoming increasingly apparent\, and the species is now considered globally threatened. The causes of these declines remain poorly understood\, but are likely to be multi-faceted. In this talk\, I will describe work undertaken by RSPB to address critical gaps in our knowledge of Leach’s Storm-petrels\, through developing novel acoustic monitoring approaches and undertaking tracking studies\, to better inform potential conservation action.’
