There are a number of group members willing to come and talk to your group or organisation about the work of the RSPB or other environmental matters. Please contact Carl Feltham for more information.

We are constantly adding new talks, so this is just a small selection, while I update the site.

We are also offering a series of talks to those of our a younger age, i.e. school or childrens groups, so if you are interested please do get in touch.

Our current rates are just £40 for an evening, which includes mileage to the immediate area around Reading. Further afield additional costs may be charged.

Birds of Berkshire

Our most popular talk, featuring sounds and videos of birds that you may see around Berkshire. Taken over a imaginary course of 24hrs, we walk through a number of habitats through the four seasons, learning about bird song, indentification and habitats as we go.

Garden Birds

This talk gets updated every year, and focuses on the results of the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch. Find out which is our most common garden bird and the reasons behind it's success and the failures of others.

Red Kites in the Chilterns

Many people in and around Reading, have grown to love this beautiful bird of prey when it returned to our countryside. This talk looks at how that was made possible and the history of the red kite through the ages. From being once common of the streets of London, to as low as a handful of pairs remaing in deepest Wales.

Birds of Lowland Farmland

Here we take a look at the birds of lowland farmland and the causes of the decline of many of our farmland birds. We look at the work the RSPB and others in re-addressing this trend and bring our farmland birds back.

African Safari

Photos taken from a number of Kenyan safaris, here Carl regails us with his stories from the African bush focusing not only on the big five, but also the less known species and birdlife of this remarkable area.

The Enchanted Isles

A look at the flora and fauna of arguably the best island chain in the world, where the birds come and feed at your feet and the animals come to look you. The Galapagos Islands.

Madagascar

One of the best islands in the world for seeing endemic species with over 90% of it's flora and fauna being found no-where else of earth.
