Caley members hear about trips to ecuador

At the first talk of the season Dr Stan da Prato presented “Explorations in Ecuador” based on two trips to a country that straddles the Equator as well as the Andes Mountains.  The talk ranged from the Amazonian rainforest to a snow-capped volcano and looked at plants and some of the wild life. Stan pointed out the significant number of flowers which featured long tubes and the link with Humming Birds!  (Stan knows more than a fair bit about birds as well as plants!)
