During this autumn the Estonian Ornithological Society will try to get an idea of what goes on in the forefront of our bird research, and so has invited ornithologists at our universities to share their discoveries with bird enthusiasts. In the lecture series “Universities to societies!” bird scientists will talk about their recent results and open the back doors of science to us. We can look forward to surprising new facts, and many pictures from colourful field work. The lectures will be easy to follow for all. All are welcome!
