Wildlife Photography Talks
I've been giving talks to all sorts of groups for quite a few years now. I've spoken to Womens Institues, Rambling societies, Photography clubs, Lunch clubs, Supper clubs and Church groups. I've talked to Guiding groups, Fellowship groups, Gardening clubs, Rotary clubs, Inner wheels, Round Tables, Bowling clubs and Probus groups.
I have a number of different talks I do and I'm always planning new ones.
A Year Looking for Kingfishers - lots of the wildlife
I saw while I tried to photograph a kingfisher.
Botswana - Birds and Beasties in the Okavango Delta
Wildlife, Street Life and Tigers - A trip to India
Lions and Tigers and Bears Oh My - Botswana, India and Finland in one
Yorkshires Hidden Gems - some of the rarer wildlife in God's Own County
Heading East - a trip to Hong Kong and Japan
An A-Z of Yorkshire Wildlife - Yorkshire wildlife in 26 letters
If you'd like me to come and speak to your group please email wildlifepirate@gmail.com and we can plan a visit.
