Photographic & Video Group

We recognise that many of our members are interested in wildlife & landscape photography and video production, so we have set up a group to help them learn more about photography and video, with opportunities to try out new skills in fantastic wildlife-rich settings and meet with people with a like-minded interest.

The Group now has a programme of events organised throughout the year.  We will send updated details of practical sessions and trips every month.

You can register with the group online using the registration form below.
