SOS Council member Mya Bambrick was presented with the Marsh Charitable Trust Young Ornithologist of the Year award at a ceremony on 2nd November.

Announcing the award, Marsh praised her work as a British Trust for Ornithology Youth Representative, which has seen her organise and lead events ranging from guided walks to beach clean-ups.

Marsh singled out Mya’s work at BTO’s Bird Camps, sharing her expert knowledge of birds and the natural world, her contribution to BTO surveys, and her photography and flm making, as well as her fundraising for BTO.

“Her passion for the natural world, combined with her supreme people and communication skills, makes her a shining example for young ornithologists to follow,” Marsh said.
