March - Russell Kingston (Bundaberg, Qld)
Birding in South America
Our March speaker is well known to finch aviculturists as an author and passionate finch keeper. He is also a founding member of QFS, a past President, long-time committee member and now our Patron. In this presentation Russell will discuss a trip to South America conducted whilst completing his latest book. It will feature loads of South American birds and is sure to generate interest.
