Country walks can be greatly enhanced if one has a knowledge of the signs left by animals and where to look for them. This talk will illustrate numerous examples, some common and some more unusual and some that you are likely to pass by without ever having given them much thought. The use of field craft, camera traps and CCTV monitoring will also be explored. This talk can be delivered as a conventional presentation or as a light-hearted quiz.

About Stephen Powles

Formerly a vet, I changed career to pursue a lifelong passion for wildlife, wildlife photography, filming and conservation. My material has made several TV appearances. I have a keen interest in photographing and filming challenging wildlife subjects, many of which are in and close to my home. My special interests are otters, tawny owls, hedgehogs, hornets and conservation generally. The talks that I give are informative but light-hearted and are lavishly illustrated with some remarkable photographic images and film sequences. I am based near Tiverton in Mid Devon.
