The Magic of Birds, with Charlie Bingham

This is an illustrated talk that will make you look up. Whether it’s a brief encounter with a robin or a curious wood pigeon perched on your windowsill, everyone has a bird story. Join nature and wildlife enthusiast Charlie Bingham as she travels the length and breadth of the UK, searching for oystercatchers on rooftops and peregrines on cathedral spires. Get inspired to look up and become part of the world that flies around us.

Have you ever heard an unfamiliar birdsong and asked yourself where it came from? Or felt inspired by the stoicism of trees in difficult times? If so, then this is the talk for you. Join Charlie on this journey of discovery, and learn how nature can offer a way to engage with your surroundings for anyone who wants to experience it. Through twelve insightful lessons, you’ll see the power that nature has to help us through turbulent times. If you’ve ever struggled to find motivation to get through the daily grind, this book reveals how birds—and the simple act of noticing nature—can guide us through even the most challenging moments.

Charlie Bingham trained as an archaeologist but got side-tracked by birds in her mid -twenties. She is an events manager for nature-based charities.

Refreshments included.

This is one in a summer series of talks on nature this August!
