Autumn Talk
“Goshawks and Honey-buzzards in Sussex” by Mark Mallalieu CBE.
Mark is the Chair of the Scientific Committee of the Sussex Ornithological Society and Editor of The Sussex Bird Report. He spent almost 40 years with the UK’s Department for International Development, often living overseas, mostly recently in South Sudan and Afghanistan. Now retired and based in Sussex, he has a particular interest in scarce breeding birds in the interior of the county. He has published a number of papers on birds of Sussex, Africa and Asia.
Mark has worked with colleagues to monitor the changing fortunes of the Goshawk in Sussex and will talk about what has been learnt. He will follow this with an introduction to the world of the mysterious and elusive Honey-buzzard based on fieldwork in Britain over recent years.
