Name – Gary Prescott aka The Brummie Biking Birder
Email –
Tel – 073471341
Title or subject of talk – I have several talks. The most popular one at the moment is either the Peruvian Festivals and People talk or the Peruvian Adventure 2018. In 2018 I cycled from Lima to the Amazonia region. Then, giving my bike away to indigenous rainforest children, I packrafted down one of the major Amazon tributaries, the Madre de Dios river, Mother of God, visiting many indigenous tribes whilst doing so and seeing incredible wildlife.

I have other talks involving my British ‘Biking Birding’ adventures. These tell the story of how I spent thirty-six months, three whole years, cycling around the UK, visiting every RSPB and W&WT (no, not Warwickshire Wildlife Trust) nature reserve at least twice each and shows the wildlife I saw, the people I met and the incidents that made each year so extremely memorable.

Then there is my latest talk, Nature during the Covid Months, which shows how nature helped me to endure Lockdown and how, when I could travel how I spent three months on the road, travelling around England, France and Switzerland.

Each talk is entertaining and fun, accompanied by both photographs and video and usually we have some singing as well as a lively Q & A session at the end. I love the way ZOOM allows audience participants to ask questions during the talk via chat. Always a positive can be found.
