Steffan makes a very welcome return to talk about his work at SBBO  - one of the County’s premier birding locations. "Having been the Warden for almost 10 years now I've come to realise all the work that goes into making Sandwich Bay Bird Observatory such a great place. In this talk I'll take you ‘behind-the-scenes’ to show how it all comes together. I'll talk about the people, the work, our aims, and of course, a little about the wildlife.'
