Bird and animal enthusiasts in Marlow will be able to do their bit to protect wildlife in the area, as Wild Marlow will host a talk on February 12.

The organisation, who aim to teach those in the area on the wildlife that lives in the town, will discuss about biodiversity and the specific ways that birds and other animals, as well as their habitats, can be protected and preserved.

Giving the talk will be Paul Warham from Bisham Barn Owl Group, Bob Keene from Bisham Nest Box Group, and Jan Stannard from Wild Maidenhead and Maidenhead, Marlow & Cookham Swift Group, with the talk being specific to owls and swifts.  

The talk will take place a month after Wildlife Marlow hosted a very successful birdhouse making session.
