A little bit about David White. He grew up in the countryside of the Cotswolds, & its where he gained his lifelong interest in the natural world. He retired to East Devon 15 years ago & taught himself aspects of digital photography relevant to photographing wildlife. 

In 2018 he entered the BBC Countryfile Calendar Competition.  His photo of a family of polecats was awarded both the judges favourite & the viewers overall competition winner.

 

Brief overview of talk, which is still being developed;  will be split into two parts:

1st Otters, beavers & other mammals including the polecat family.

2nd Birds. Many birds use the estuary, river & surrounding areas. These may be resident, summer or winter visitors, or passage migrants.

He will include three challenging birds in flight species; that is the peregrine falcon, hobby & swift. I also plan to include some interesting bird behaviours too.
