THE Brontë sisters and their fascination with birds will be the focus of a talk.
Alasdair McKee is giving a presentation at the next indoor meeting of Craven's RSPB group.
Joyce Varley, for the group, says: "The Brontë sisters were fascinated by birds, which played a big role in their lives and work.
"The talk will describe how birds featured in their novels, and how the bird imagery they used relates to reality.
"It is a talk that will appeal to bird and book lovers alike, and everyone in between!
"Alasdair is an extremely enthusiastic and entertaining speaker, and this promises to be a very interesting talk with marvellous images.
"Everyone is welcome, irrespective of whether you are an RSPB member."
The meeting takes place at the Baptist Church Hall, in Rectory Lane, Skipton, next Wednesday (October 9), at 7.30pm.
Admission is £4, under-16s free. Refreshments will be available.
