Joan’s favourite bird is the osprey. “To sit and watch them fishing and then seeing them shake off the water after a dive is wonderful”
Favourite place to visit:
At every opportunity Joan will make her way north to her favourite place of Scotland, especially the islands off the west coast, Isley and Jura, Skye and Mull
Main Hobby:
Joan’s primary hobby is that of botany of which she has a fountain of knowledge. She would most like to see an Oyster plant, a wildflower grows on the far northern Scottish beaches
Membership and Service :
Joan has been a member of Leigh Ornithological Society for about 33 years, serving 27 of those years as the Editor and as such is highly valued. Joan is also engaged with the Volunteer Arm of Leigh Ornithological Society, Pennington Flash Volunteer Group, (PFVG).
She raises spirits with her delicious fruit cake and can always be relied upon. Joan has recently mapped out sites of specific interest for conservation on the site so that future generations may see the value that nature brings.
Thank you, Joan, for your answers. We surely hope that you get to see your Oyster plants on one of your trips up to northern Scotland.
