Wide range of talks
Polyglot
After a business career in scientific instrumentation, working and living In Italy, The Netherlands, former West Germany, Ireland and the UK, my focus is now on Natural History and History
Speaking five languages was a driver to investigate the roots of the English language and the impact of invasions over the centuries, which is presented is an animated talk.
An interest in photography lead me to share many natural events happening throughout the year. Should you be interested to follow current happenings you can see my blog at www.sussexrambler.blogspot.com
With a B.Sc. in Applied Biology, talks are highly pictorial and benefited by critique from a former college lecturer.
Working with The Friends of Wolstonbury Hill (under the direction of the National Trust rangers) and with Surrey Wildlife Trust in nature conservation is both a pleasure, healthy exercise and educational.
Memberships of;
RSPB,
Sussex Ornithological Society,
Bees, Wasps & Ants Recording Society,
Buglife and Chailey Commons Society have also been invaluable, in the preparation of these talks.
My thanks to you all for your generous help.
