PNHS Talk - Eagles in Southern Skies: 6 years with the South of Scotland Golden Eagle Project
Join Paisley Natural History Society at The Wynd Centre on September 7th for a talk with Rick Taylor from the Scotland Golden Eagle Project.
About PNHS Talk - Eagles in Southern Skies: 6 years with the South of Scotland Golden Eagle Project
Join us for the start of our 2023/24 programme of Paisley Natural History Society talks with this fascinating talk about these most majestic birds.
Rick Taylor (Community Outreach Officer, South of Scotland Golden Eagle Project) has been with the project since it began in 2018. Prior to that he worked on the Making the Most of Moorlands Project in Langholm, engaging locals and visitors with the fantastic wildlife of Langholm Moor, in particular the hen harriers and other raptors. Rick’s route into conservation was somewhat convoluted as he left school and joined a rock band, ended up teaching music in a Northumbrian school where he developed the outdoor education programme for disengaged youths which rekindled his desire to return to his love of wildlife.
Rick has travelled widely to study nature in Canada, Romania, Poland, Slovakia, Spain and Scandinavia (where he had an interesting discussion at gunpoint with the Russian border patrol on the Finnish / Russian border). From wolves and bears to humpbacks and orca, Rick always cherishes the time he gets to spend and work in Scotland where he found his first Golden Eagle eyrie at the age of twelve.
This free event is open to everyone. We are a friendly group sharing our interest in wildlife and welcome new members.
