Of Birds and Men

Had a brilliant meeting of the Waveney and Blyth Valley Arts today. Three excellent speakers, including the dynamic Laurence Edwards with the tale of his Creek Men, which finally explained to me why they are no longer at Snape, what a loss, but luckily they are apparently now at Heveningham.

Laurence Edwards and his creek men sculptures  Also speaking was Mark Cocker, whose 'Birds and People' is an internet forum for people around the world to contribute their experiences with our 'feathered friends', resulting in a book of the condensed details.
 Also, Peter Cowdrey  gave us a demonstration  of the way technology can help us understand the musicality and patterns in birdsong.
