Devon’s Wildlife, Shore to Moor (Tavistock Branch)

John Walters will give a talk entitled “Shore to Moor, an overall view on wildlife as seen by a wildlife photographer and ecology consultant”.

The talk will use photographs and field sketches to explore the wildlife of Devon from the rock pools on the coast to the high moorland including cuckoos and their meadow pipit foster parents, dancing adders, long-tailed tits and the worlds largest slug!

He works as an ecologist, artist and public speaker and is based in Buckfastleigh.

Please note that whilst it is hoped that the Branch will be in a position to resume meeting in the Tavistock Parish Centre, this will clearly be dependent upon governmental guidance and it may be that our meetings will continue to take place using the Zoom application.
