| "Wildlife Of The Falkland Islands" | |||||||||

The Falkland Islands are one of the great destinations of the world for any wildlife photographer, I spent three weeks there photographing many of the varied species found during the South Atlantic spring. These included five species of penguins and other famous birds such as the Black-brown Albatross. I also photographed other species such as the endemic Cobbs Wren and the Falklands Steamer birds. Amongst the mammal species photographed were Southern Elephant Seals, Southern Sea Lions, and the Patagonian Grey Fox. All these species and much more feature in my illustrated lecture on this great place. |

| "Winter Wildlife Photography" | |||||||||
|
One of my favorite places times of the year to photograph is during the cold fresh days of winter when there is snow on the ground. This lecture looks at many aspects of wildlife photography during these harsh days. It looks at many areas including Lapland, with its vast forests, open tundra, to Churchill in Canada in search of Polar Bears. It also covers the British winter in the Cairngorms in Scotland. This show puts together a variety of species photographed on several snowy trips and includes mammals such as Reindeer and Arctic Fox, birds such as Black Woodpecker, King Eiders, and Boreal Owls, some great scenery. There are also many hints and tips for those who would also like to photograph during the cold snowy months. |

| "British Wildlife In Macro" | |||||||||
|
Another popular new lecture is "British Wildlife In Macro" which focuses on some of our smaller wildlife including butterflies, orchids, dragonflies, moths, and many other species. Macro photography is not easy, and I go through some of the techniques I use along with many hints and tips. As always some great images are shown of a variety of different subjects. |

| "Great British Wildlife" | |||||||||
| It is great to go abroad in search of wildlife to photograph, but there is also a great deal of satisfaction in photographing wildlife closer to home. This talk showcases some of the species available both locally to me in the East Midlands, and further afield across Britain. Amongst items covered there are sections on British Sea Bird Colonies, Woodpeckers, and Owls. There is also a bit of a red theme with Red Squirrel, Red Deer, and Red Grouse all getting a good appearance. | |||||||||
