Indoor meeting (Exeter Hall): Rainforest Stories
By: Paul Alistair Collins
In this talk Paul will tell us about the spectacular birdlife to be found just outside Panama City in the Soberania National Park. Lying at the centre of the New World, linking North and South America, a spectacular 970+ species of bird have been recorded in this small area, not to mention a variety of other wildlife such as howler monkeys and glass frogs. This talk explores the life and photo opportunities that can be found at every level of the rainforest - from the upper canopy 200m up in the clouds, to the dark secrets of the forest floor."
