The Society’s Annual Meeting & Dinner was held at the Liederkranz Club on March 8 2016. The featured speaker and recipient of the 2015 Eisenmann Medal for excellence in ornithology and encouragement of the amateur was Professor Tim R Birkhead, FRS from the University of Sheffield. His presentation entitled “What it’s like to be an ornithologist” provided a personal and often humorous account of his own career, beginning as a small boy with a natural curiosity in birds that blossomed over time into a very successful academic career that uses birds to understand the evolution of mating systems.
