    My BIG year!

    Birdwatching is Arjan’s greatest passion. It gives him enormous fulfilment in life, takes him to the most beautiful and remote places in this world allowing him to understand nature and all its complexities in a much better way. His fascination with birds began when he was just a couple of months old starting mumbling his first words. He called his stuffed toy animal Pica pica, which he later realised was the Latin name for Magpie. When he was a toddler whilst other kids drew houses and cars, he drew birds.

    Arjan would stare in awe at the feathered wonders that came to feed at his bird table in his back garden. He never stopped trying to identify the birds that he saw and now, more than 25 years later, he set a world record for the number species seen in one year, wrote two books about birding, made a documentary film, and committed his life to conserving birds and the ecosystems on which they depend. Most people were not lucky enough to be struck by the “birding virus” at such a young age.

    Arjan’s mission is to bring out that inner naturalist that lives in all of us. He strongly believes that people first need to fall in love with nature. Only then will they fully realise how important it is for wildlife to have a natural environment to exist within, to have food to eat, water to drink and air to breathe.

  • Mike Dilger Thursday 16 February 7pm GMT

    1,000 plants in 365 days

    Mike has been an obsessive naturalist since childhood, equally at home either on his hands and knees identifying wild flowers in the British countryside, or surveying the Amazon for hummingbirds. With degrees in Botany and Ecology, Mike’s obsession with the tropics began when studying moths in the South American Andes. This then led to over five years carrying out research work in the tropical forests of Ecuador, Vietnam, Tanzania and Peru.

    Finally emerging out of the bush and returning back to Britain to find a job in television, Mike is probably best known as the wildlife expert on the BBC’s The One Show. Pontificating about everything from bumblebees to basking sharks, Mike has racked up over 450 appearances during his 15 years on the show.

    Living with his wife and son in the Chew Valley, south of Bristol, his main job now is as a professional plate spinner, which involves intermingling TV commitments with writing, tour-leading and giving talks. A columnist for BBC Wildlife Magazine, Mike has also written eight nature-themed books, with his most recent being One Thousand Shades of Green – A Year in Search of Britain’s Wild Plants.

    Protecting migrating birds in Malta

    Alice Tribe and Nicholas Barbara are staff members of BirdLife Malta’s Conservation team. They are both motivated by the same goal: to stop, or at least reduce, the illegal killing of birds. Persecution of protected species continues to be an ongoing problem across the Maltese Islands and certain species are targeted for specific reasons. For example, rare visitors may be targeted specifically for taxidermy reasons, meanwhile finches may be caught for the pet trade, and so on.

    During this webinar, Alice and Nicholas will be focusing on the spring hunting season where only two species are legal to hunt: the Common Quail and European Turtle Dove. This is despite both species experiencing an overall decline in population size across their ranges. The main reason why these birds are shot is to be eaten.

    Alice and Nicholas will be talking about recent events and what is being done by BirdLife Malta to try and protect birds that are migrating north to their breeding grounds.
