THE FALKLANDS FLORA AND FAUNA

SX331847
An illustrated talk by David Thomas and Brian Stringer The Falkland Islands can
be loosely described as having a coastline similar to North Cornwall and an interior
comparable with Dartmoor, moderated by regular and fairly strong winds. On the
whole, the habitats and species differ significantly and provide a good opportunity
for visiting naturalists to obtain some unique photo shots, especially of the
rather tame birds. The talk presents the results of two separate visits by local
wildlife enthusiasts and will cover a wide range of the flora and fauna of the
Islands.
The talk is being presented to raise funds for the Falkland Island Wildlife Trust
