July’s Life on the Edge- bug hunting and sketching with John Walters

 Our Life on the Edge team has done it again! Such an interesting afternoon, learning how to look at and see what is before our eyes! John Walters shared his extensive understanding and knowledge with us - it was fascinating. We looked a lot and talked a lot about what we could see. Then we wandered back to the benches and he showed us how to observe the insects he had caught and to make a sketch of them. Making a drawing really forces you to look carefully at the insect. What a privilege!

Thank you everyone for your lovely company!

Advance information on one of the speakers in our programme.

John Walters

 Do you recognise the new header photo? It is an illustration by John Walters who came to speak to us about birds a couple of years ago. He brought some cards of his illustrations, which many of us bought. He was an excellent speaker - here is his website https://johnwalters.co.uk/ He also has an Instagram page john_walters_wildlife which has some beautiful images.

We are very lucky to be able to listen to him again, this time talking about the Life on the Edge project and showing us how to make our own illustrations! How amazing is that! 

Wednesday 30th July, 2pm at the car park at Berry Head. Bring a drink, a folding chair to carry with you if you like and come along to learn something more about our local area. 

Sign up at our next meeting. Don’t miss out!
