DESCRIPTION:This talk will explore the life of Alice Hibbert-Ware\, a litt
 le-known naturalist with a Cambridge connection.\n\nHibbert-Ware was a tea
 cher and promoter of school nature study in the early twentieth century\, 
 and also undertook a survey of the Little Owl's eating habits in the 1930s
 \, which contributed to the bird's protection at a time when landowners bl
 amed them for attacking game bird chicks. The enquiry was a fascinating ea
 rly case of "citizen science"\, with volunteers recruited via a public cal
 l in the press\, including BBC Radio and the ZSL's _Zoo_ magazine.
