OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
All are welcome to attend this student-organised talk by Oxford Swift City on swift conservation. The iconic aerial migrant bird, which lands only to breed and can fly at least 560 miles a day gathering food during the breeding season, nests almost exclusively in urban areas. In recent years, swift populations have declined, possibly due to the loss of nesting sites, as old buildings are renovated and new builds do not include spaces for them to nest. Come along and find out more about efforts to conserve this fascinating bird as well as how you can get involved.
