August General Meeting

Bird Travel Experiences in Italy (November 2023) and Vietnam (January 2024)

Speaker: Gary Fitt & Cheryl Marles
Venue: Morningside Hall, corner Thynne Road and Wynnum Road, Morningside.
Date: 2 August 2024
Time: 6:30pm for 7:30pm start.

Gary and Cheryl maintain a large collection of finches of many species and participate in finch showing, finch conservation and photography. They hosted an aviary visit and QFS show recently and have given many presentations to QFS. This one will cover two bird focussed trips from the last year.

Gary will talk about a trip to Italy in November 2023 which involved 5 days of visiting bird collections around northern Italy and culminated in attending the largest bird show in Italy, with 20,000 birds exhibited – an amazing experience. Cheryl will then talk about a bird photography trip to Vietnam with a small and dedicated band of photographers. Much time was spent in photographic hides and some stunning birds were seen as a result. Some of the locations were tough to get to but the results made it all worthwhile. Come along for a varied coverage of birds in aviculture and in the wild.
