SUMMARY:Bird Study Group Meeting (December 2022)
DESCRIPTION:Shetland – Birds\, ponies\, and people. \nPresenter: Andrew Hart\nThe Shetland Islands are the northern most part of Great Britain. This isolation has resulted in some endemic Shetland species and several Arctic and Northern European visitors and vagrants that are rarely\, if ever\, seen in the rest of the country.\nAndrew will talk about his visit to the Shetlands this summer. This included a day on Unst\, the most northerly inhabited island as well as visits to a number of RSPB bird reserves. \nNo description of the Shetlands would be complete without mentioning Shetland ponies. \nThe northern location has resulted in a distinct Scandinavian heritage in Shetland\, evidenced by some Viking settlements\, several place names\, and the Shetland Bus which ferried agents to Norway during World War II. \nPresenter Bio:\nAndrew has been a Nature Calgary member for several years\, including terms as Nature Calgary president and BSG co-ordinator. \nMembers please look in your email Newsletter for links to the Zoom meeting. \nDate: Dec 7\, 2022\nMeeting Opens at 7:15pm\nPresentation Starts at 7:30pm \n
