Event details

How far do you have to go to see fifty thousand birds dancing in formation? Where is the best coast in England to see sea mammals AND thousands of sea-birds close up? Where is the nearest flyway for swans migrating between Britain and Iceland? Can you name two duck species that visit our campus every winter? 

Join knowledgable nature enthusiast Robin Perutz to find out all the answers and learn more about the spectacular wildlife that can be found in Yorkshire. We will also be hosting a cake sale before and after the talk to raise money for Mentally Fit York.
