Subject - Peregrines, PIT tags and papers
This month's talk is a product of an intense capture/re-capture study on peregrine demography in south Scotland, started in 2002 building on data from the South West Scotland Raptor Study Group and the South East Scotland Raptor Study group with data from as far back as 1945. Evidencing population changes and movements during that period.
Speaker - George Smith joined the Lothian and Borders Raptor Study Group in 1992 and at his very first group meeting was appointed as buzzard records coordinator, documenting the population's gradual recovery in this region. Very soon George was also working with the one and only late George Carse on peregrines, as they also expanded across the region. Over the next few years George became one of the key members of the group and is presently species coordinator for three key species peregrine, buzzard and raven. He also manages to fit in various other raptor monitoring activities along the way. It is difficult to exaggerate just how much time and effort George manages to put into this each season despite having a fulltime job, a wife and a family of
three daughters.
