Talks

I am available to do occasional talks at Photographic, Wildlife or Other Societies within reasonable travelling distance of my home on the Suffolk/Essex border. Unless stated below, Talks are generally of wildlife photographed in sites available to all, though not necessarily nature reserves. Most talks are about 90-100 minutes, in two parts, but a few are shorter. Please note that I am not taking bookings for Talks delivered via Zoom and the like.

A Wildlife Tour of East Anglia - I start off with photos from my garden and the fields around where I live and gradually go further afield locally, especially along the Stour. I then take a look at a number of sites open to the public in Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex and a bit of Cambridgeshire.

The Falkland Islands - A Wildlife Photographer's Paradise - This is based on two trips to the Falkland Islands where although there are not a huge number of species, many of them are present in large numbers and very confiding.

British Wildlife Near and Far - a mix of local wildlife plus parts of Scotland and elsewhere in the UK

Arctic and Sub-Arctic Wildlife - Mammals, flowers and birds from Svalbard and Birds (mainly) from Iceland. This is in two parts and each of Arctic or Iceland could run as standalone 45-60 minutes talks.

Along The Stour - Wildlife along my local river/estuary and the Shotley Peninsula - this is Talk lasting a little under 60 minutes

Wildlife in the Pandemic - Photos from 2020 and early 2021, mostly very local and one of my few Talks to include private sites - this is Talk lasting a little under 60 minutes

Getting Close to Nature - Varied subject matter and lots of locations, mainly British and indeed mainly local. Fieldcraft is more important than the camera gear??
