“You made a lasting impression with your impressive knowledge of the wildlife in Sussex”

Whether it was out in the field looking for butterflies, investigating a moth trap or attending one of your entertaining talks, our members have always been enthused by your passion for wildlife.

Michael Blencowe was a big influence when I was first starting out in ecology. Amongst his many talents he is one of the best public speakers I have ever listened to.

Through his vibrant character, perfectly woven stories and timing drummed down to a tee, he made us sit up and take notice of his great work. Now that’s good content delivery.

Michael is a master at combining education with entertainment, expertly describing his wonderful wildlife experiences with a sprinkling of folklore, history, music and delightful anecdotes.

What a raconteur!  Very impressive, captivating, funny and fascinating

Your presentation, yesterday, was brilliant. Not only did you deliver it in a clear, informative way, you kept it applicable to our members. Your touches of warm relevant humour added to our enjoyment, and you have certainly inspired many of us to stop talking about what we could do for wildlife, and actually get on with something

We enjoyed your talk last night about moths enormously. You have a great gift for education and entertainment. Brilliant! We have made a donation to the charity in tribute.

In short, wildlife is pretty lucky to have such an awesome outspoken advocate, and if all conferences have a Michael in their midst, then the world would be a much better place
