Classical Batman Sound Plan.
Bird Hall - Some good new classification cases
early in hall. Family of Birds distribution
maps - some history specimens mounted on
attractive labels. Mostly silk screen but some
printed labels attached ?
N side of hall basically taxonomic first pack on
bird families attractive but well designed later 2/3 people
of cases filled no specimen.
S side some basic principles some of this is well done.
Genetic variation - too windy & difficult to
follow - Moles & seal specimens used from
evolution of flight - insect, mammal & reptile
parallels also done.
Migration
Annual changes in plumage Lots of Birdmen
working on it.
Br. Bird Hall - Dark blue ceiling with bird small
flying bird silhouettes lining below is quite nice.
Cases in taxonomic basically not a few decorations for
effect. Arrangement by environments such as
Cliffs & Sea Coast, Marsh & Fen, Decid Woodland,
Conif Woodland, Inldm, Farm fields, Mountains, Mons etc.
A good idea for D.C. Bride
Ploughs for listening to Bird calls but rather
low fi.
