‘All About Otters’ Talk wit Stephen Powles: 6pm, Wednesday 24th September, St James Church
We are thrilled to announce that Stephen Powles is coming back to Leckhampstead to talk to us about OTTERS and their habitat.
Formerly a vet, Stephen changed career to pursue a lifelong passion for wildlife, wildlife photography, filming and conservation. Stephen’s material has made a number of TV appearances, featured in the national press and won major awards. His photography concentrates on interesting and challenging wildlife subjects, many of which are close to his home.
Stephen will be coming to St James Church on September 24th to give his presentation “All About Otters”, which gives insight into the secretive lives of otters. He will share the signs to look out for, discuss their decline and subsequent recovery and will introduce ‘Hammer Scar’, a female that lived on the stream below his home. Stephen observed, photographed and filmed her life in remarkable detail over five years and will share some of the highlights.
The presentation will be followed by refreshments, activities for children and a raffle.
Tickets cost £7.50 per adult and £12 for a family and include entry to the raffle, waffles and pancakes. There will be hot drinks available and wine.
All funds raised will support the upkeep of St James Church and the village graveyard.
