Halifax Scientific Society Xmas Social


Among the usual attractions of artifacts and books etc. from our library to look at, there will be a couple of really interesting dead birds on display, found recently in Calderdale :-

The Common Scoter found by Andy Cockroft at Baitings reservoir. (It's been in a freezer.)
And the Great Grey Shrike that was picked up near a window in Southowrham with its prey, a headless Blue Tit.

The Xmas Social  consists of conversation over tea/coffee and cakes. Bring cakes etc to share. Drinks provided.

Downstairs at the Central Library, Halifax 7.15 to 9.00. (No formal Business tonight.)
All welcome.

Sure it's not a Norwegian Blue parrot?

No, it's definitely an ex-cubitor :-)

It's going to Dr John Mather at Harrogate (Yorkshire Birds author, etc.)

It's still in my freezer at the moment.
