The wild life of Scotland will be on view on Sunday, November 20 when local photographers Dennis Lee and Bob Tunstall of Worcester Camera Club visit Bishops Wood Centre near Stourport.
The two photographers have just returned from Cairngorm National Park, Scotland's second national park, with magnificent photographs of wildlife and will share with visitors their memories, anecdotes and a slide presentation of stunning wildlife photography.
Photographs will include shots of red squirrels, deer, and golden eagles in their natural habitat.
The event, which runs from 2.30pm to 4pm has been organised by Friends of Bishops Wood. Suggested donation for admission is £2 for adults and £0.50 for children. Places can be reserved in advance by telephoning: 01299 250513.
Bishops Wood Centre is situated just off the A449 at Crossway Green, near Stourport and is run as a partnership between National Grid, Worcestershire County Council and Worcester College of Technology. Set in 70 acres of ancient woodland and meadows, the centre’s award winning building was designed as a model of good practice for ‘green’ architecture.
