Monday October 14th 2019 “Hedgehog Update” At the time of Pat Morris’s original research in the 1970’s little was known about hedgehogs. His book on the subject became the longest running mammal book still in publication. The future well-being of the hedgehog is threatened like never before, so it is a real pleasure to have Dr Pat back in Croydon to update us on the plight of this most lovable mammal. * * * * * Monday November 11th 2019 “The Falkland Islands” As we discovered when she first visited us in 2017 Jackie Garner is one of Britain’s finest wildlife artists.
