The Brontë sisters and their fascination with birds will be the focus of a talk.
Alasdair McKee is giving a presentation at the next indoor meeting of Craven's RSPB group.
Joyce Varley, for the group, says: "The Brontë sisters were fascinated by birds, which played a big role in their lives and work.
"The talk will describe how birds featured in their novels, and how the bird imagery they used relates to reality.
"It is a talk that will appeal to bird and book lovers alike, and everyone in between!
"Alasdair is an extremely enthusiastic and entertaining speaker, and this promises to be a very interesting talk with marvellous images.
"Everyone is welcome, irrespective of whether you are an RSPB member."

Sad that very few Bronte talks are now offered online.
