A rare and exclusive chance to hear about one of Norfolk's most unusual and expert naturalists. Born in the late 19th century and brought up in Great Yarmouth, Arthur became not only a self-taught naturalist but an excellent writer and recorder. He visited and lived on Breydon Water for most of his life. A little known fact is that he became a mentor to Ted Ellis when Ted was a young man. Arthur published numerous articles and books, the latter now becoming highly collectable. Tony Brown, RWT trustee and recording naturalist, has been a lifelong fan of Arthur Patterson. He brings together his life, his writings and humorous insights into the man. Tony brings us up to date with his own lifelong fascination with Breydon and its quite amazing populations of migrating birds, eel, smelt and other aspects of this glorious estuary. Tickets: £6 (£4 for RWT Full members) bookable by phone on 01986 897130 or online at http://intelligent-tickets.co.uk/index.php?th=ft&pg=selectevent&start=1&sel=25

Our Chairman, Robin Twigge, invites all Bungay members to come along for a chat and update on RWT activities. We particularly need to find a willing local co-ordinator to replace Eric Williams who has done such sterling work for the Bungay group. So, make it if you can!

No Monthly Meeting in December so see you in new year.
