The aim of the Bob Scott Memorial Quiz is to raise £25,000 to support the work of BirdLife International, RSPB (the Birdlife Partner in the ) & BTO in their collaborative work to protect and save the natural habitats of threatened trans Saharan migrant birds in .

We know that in recent years the number of returning Summer migrants has started to decline dramatically and research in by BirdLife Partners and the BTO has evidenced these worrying changes. Many of our common Summer visiting birds are under threat and we must act now by working at the grass roots level with local communities in to protect migrant wintering grounds. A recently published book entitled “Living on the Edge” has revealed yet more of the problems.

A big thank you to everyone who has generously donated so far. The Bob Scott Memorial Quiz is fun and aims to get people searching for the answers and enjoying extending their own knowledge whilst at the same time raising much needed funds for migrant bird conservation in Africa.

Bob was a keen ornithologist and enthused everyone he met about birdwatching. He became the RSPB Head of Reserves and was passionate about saving natural habitats in and front line conservation work.
