Hopefully) Exciting And Entertaining Excursions Into The World of Museums (And Natural History). Thursday, 7 July 2011. Becoming A Twitcher: Part IV. In which I become an urban twitcher! Since my move to London, I have had very little time for indulging my burgeoning interest in British birds. However, that doesn't mean that I haven't seen plenty of them!

Since the blog's been a bit quiet lately, and I have little that is new and interesting to write about at the moment, here is a lazy post consisting of a transcript (with some minor editing and additions, and obviously much of the show-and-tell aspect removed! Of the talk I gave at the museum a few months ago about Gideon Mantell. Enjoy! Centu...

Once upon a time there was a mummy duck called Mrs Mallard. She lived on Canada Water, and she had seven babies. Two of them died very young, and Mrs Mallard was very sad. But one night, something went wrong, and when Mrs Mallard came back the next evening she only brought four babies with her! That night another disaster struck! View my complete profile.

The question was to discuss the main challenges facing museums today. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. There, that should cover it. Robert E Mc...
