My Birding Patch - Alnmouth - the Northumberland coast in microcosm with Tom Cadwallender
Having moved to the Alnmouth area in 1989 Tom has walked his patch for over 30 years. During this talk we will look at the familiar, the scarce and sometimes the rare species of birds through the lens of diverse habitats and the seasons. Then a brief excursion to Coquet Island where we will look at some of the breeding seabirds including the Roseate Tern, a species which Tom has been studying and helping to conserve since 1991. One thing is for sure the wonderful landscape and seascape of the Alnmouth area will feature quite heavily in this presentation.
Born and raised Northumbrian, Tom is currently a freelance ornithologist, bird tour guide, broadcaster, lecturer, traveller and importantly a Birdwatcher. Tom is a British Trust for Ornithology diehard who enjoys nothing more than counting birds for conservation and fun and who will enthusiastically spread the ornithological word to anyone who will listen.
