The indoor meeting of the Arran Natural History Society took place on Thursday November 3, when Zul Bhatia, manager of the RSPB reserve in Lochwinnoch, gave an illustrated presentation on the wildlife of the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania.
As Zul said: ‘I have been there myself dozens of times and guide tourists there as well. In this talk I concentrated on the birds and mammals, and talked about animal populations and movements too.
‘The Serengeti migration is, without doubt, one of the impressive wildlife spectacles in the world when more than a million large herbivores – mainly wildebeest, zebra and gazelles – move across the area, followed by predators, in particular the big cats – lion, leopard and cheetah.’
