Images from David Allan talk at Crocworld Conservation CentreOn Saturday 14 May, Crocworld Conservation Centre hosted a talk by renowned ornithologist David Allan. Entitled ‘Birds of Prey – New Frontiers in our Knowledge and Identification’, Allan’s talk carried on the series’ tradition of celebrating the fascinating flora and fauna of Southern Africa. In his talk, Allan gave guests an insight into two of his most recent field trips. On the first of these trips, Allan helped several esteemed ornithologists from overseas to document the presence of a bird of prey only recently recorded for the first time in Southern Africa. On the second, he joined a team investigating the status of a rare bird of prey in Zululand.High resolution images are available on request.
