Edward Mayer of Swift Conservation will be talking about Swifts, those most spectacular and charismatic urban birds, their sad decline and what every one of us can do about it. A keen birdwatcher since he was a child, Edward has devoted the past 20 years since retiring from his job at the Tate Gallery to working for Swifts, having noticed that the Swifts in his local population in London were declining rapidly. He designed and set up a website www.swift-conservation.org providing a wealth of information and conservation guidance, and then set about giving talks with the aim of inspiring people to set up local groups to assist Swifts both here in the UK and in Europe too. The results have been surprising and very gratifying, and he will tell us about them in this richly illustrated talk, which also doubles as a training class in how to help Swifts yourself. Edward will also be answering your questions about Swifts and how to help them, and pointing out where you can see them in Grantown on Spey, where the local Swift population is still in a very good state, some of them actually nesting in the Grant Arms own roof.
Prior to working as presenter for the One Show, Mike worked as a researcher and director for the world-famous BBC Natural History Unit in Bristol. One of his gigs was to travel to Ellesmere Island in northern Canada, with wildlife cameraman Ian McCarthy, to film the trials and tribulations of a pair of gyr falcons raising a brood on the unforgiving tundra for the Natural World strand. Spending 12 weeks in the land of the midnight sun, the team had the adventure of a lifetime as they got to grips with one of the world’s most enigmatic birds of prey and all the other wildlife scraping a living in this astonishingly beautiful and yet remote region.

Having presented the very funny and eventful MacAulay and Co on BBC Radio Scotland for almost 18 years and with a string of tv appearances since 1995, Fred’s on air witticisms and on screen reputation are the product of years of experience on the live circuit.
In December 2021 Fred was one of the team of four who won one of the highest amounts ever (£116,000) for their chosen charities on ITV’s THE CHASE.
Fred: “what I absolutely love more than anything (about my job) is standing on stage and making a room full of people hoot with laughter …… especially in Scotland”.
Expect to hear tales of:- Lockdown weddings, gags about complying with the regulations, isolating, things that bind us together …. (like finding out that your bottle bins were too small), ZOOM gigs, Carpark gigs, nuisance phone calls …… and ….. OH YES…….impending grandparenthood!
