About the event

Wild Threads
Join us at the Nature Discovery Centre for a captivating series of talks exploring the connections between landscape, nature, ecology, literature, poetry, and wildlife. 

This month: How birds have been presented in literature over the years, from Ancient Greece to Shakespeare and on to the C20th, with plenty in between. Why did King Lear call one of his daughters ‘detested kite’?  Why does an old sailor feel compelled to talk about an albatross? What’s wrong with Hedwig? Birds have been used by writers for centuries, and their use tells us a lot about the people and birds of the past, and present.

Led by the popular host of Birds and a Brew, Ailsa Claybourne, these sessions promise insight, inspiration, and a fresh perspective on the natural world.
