Nature Photography Brian MacFarlane

Nature Photography was presented to us by Brian MacFarlane at our meeting on 10 March, when we saw many examples of beautiful bird shots. We were alternatively impressed by his sharp, awesome photographs of birds of prey - Eagles, Kestrels, Red Kites - contrasting with familiar local waterfowl - Bitterns, Reed Warbler and Great Crested Grebe. Serene vistas of autumn and winter scenes and spectacular shots of Ospreys, Avocets and Starlings roosting, made an escape from our grey, cold weather and proved a most enjoyable evening.

At our meeting on 14 April, Julie Hurst will entertain us by speaking on "The history of Hats and Hat-making". New members will be welcome to join us and can contact our President, Pam Cooper, on 01508 491674 for more information.
