Badger

I’ve been talking about my wildlife adventures for around 12 years and, during that time, I’ve spoken to 60 different and diverse groups from Huddersfield and further afield in Yorkshire and Cumbria. During that time, I have met loads of interesting people and made quite a few friends.

I now have 14 subjects to choose from, ranging from animals to be found in different geographical locations such as the Antarctic and Brazil, to much broader subject matter such as in one of my favourites, ‘Taking Nature’ and a brand new one entitled ‘All at Sea’.

I have a significant birthday in 2027 and already have plans to visit some new areas of the world as well as a few of the old favourites in the Arctic regions. And I have decided to take a rest from presenting throughout next year except for where I have already committed, during which time I will decide whether to take new speaking engagements for 2028.

I am not going to be completely idle! I hope to collect some interesting new images, particularly from a planned visit to Madagascar. And, I have been approached by two researchers at Huddersfield University to assist with the creation of a ‘Creative connections toolkit’ which will introduce nature in an easily manageable visual form to residents of care homes throughout Kirklees.

I would also take this opportunity to thank those who have attended my talks, bought my images, cards and calendars, the proceeds of which have benefitted charities throughout Yorkshire and nationally.

Keep looking after nature and keep looking at my site. There are some interesting images coming in the next few weeks!
