We held our AGM at Churchstoke Community Hall on 12th February.  After the requisite AGM admin covered the Group’s Chair, Mary Napper, we had reports from Leo Smith and Rob Rowe on the respective activities of the Bird and Plant Groups.

After a refreshment break, we were treated to a talk by local wildlife photographer and writer Andy Fusek-Peters.  His amazing photographs of birds, hares, dragonflies and other wildlife kept all those present enthralled.  All the pictures Andy chose for our event were taken locally, showing just what spectacular images are to be had on our doorstep – if you have as much patience, skill and imagination as Andy (unlikely on all counts, sadly for the rest of us!).

If you couldn’t make it to the event, it’s worth visiting the gallery of Andy’s images on his website: www.andrewfusekpeters.com/gallery
