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." (Alistair Shand in Keighley News)
