Join Mark Goulding of Wildlife Conservation for an entertaining and thought-provoking talk, Wildlife Sightings – Tales of the Unexpected. This light-hearted presentation explores the unusual and surprising species Mark has encountered – and sometimes not encountered – during his former career as a Wildlife Crime Enforcement police officer in South Wales and his current work with a conservation charity.

Drawing on real investigations, Mark takes the audience on a journey of discovery through the analysis of witness evidence, revealing what it can (and can’t) tell us about reports of unusual wildlife in the UK. Blending knowledge, experience and infectious enthusiasm, Mark’s engaging style brings these fascinating stories to life and offers a fresh perspective on how wildlife sightings are investigated.

An enjoyable and informative talk for anyone with an interest in wildlife, conservation, and the unexpected.
