THE birds of Armenia is the subject of a virtual meeting by Airedale & Bradford RSPB on Friday.
Speaker John Buckingham will give a talk on Birds of Armenia - Eastern Gem of the Caucasus. John is a widely published wildlife photographer and the many diverse birds of the country will be discussed and illustrated in his lecture.
Says a group spokesman: “A visit to Armenia takes you back in time, to when low intensity agriculture, flower-rich meadows and scenic mountain sides were full of birds and colourful insects.
“This tiny landlocked country has a huge inland lake, with marshes and spectacular mountains and forest scenery.
“Lying on the eastern borders of Turkey, south of Georgia, north of Iran and with a contested border with Azerbaijan, East most definitely meets West here.”
The meeting will be at 7.30pm on Zoom. For a link, email abrspb@blueyonder.co.uk. There is no fee but donations are welcome.
