About the event
David Parkin takes us to this magical island that lies between Orkney and Shetland. The first part of the talk describes the island and its bird observatory. The second part will illustrate some of the native and migrant birds found around the island. The talk will conclude with update on the latest incarnation of the observatory following the 2019 fire.
