The last lecture of the Winter Season was by Peter Baker, who was due to visit us in January, but because of the bad weather had to postpone it until Monday night.

His subject was "A walk on the wild side"   His digital projected images were of foxes, badgers, and a variety of birds.  All photographed locally.  A very interesting programme to finish our season. 

Now looking forward to the Summer Programme of Events.
