Below is a diary of my future presentations that I'll be giving over the forthcoming months.
Information:
My talks are digital presentations and run for approximately 90
minutes. If you'd like to
arrange for me to speak at one of your events then please
contact me, or if
you'd just like to attend then please come along, you'll be very welcome (note: some
groups may charge a small entrance fee).
Charges:
From 1st June 2008 to 31st August 2009 my charges will be £60 + 20p per mile
fuel expenses.
From 1st September 2009 my charges will be from £75 + 20p per
mile fuel expenses. These are my basic charges for most groups but depending on
the distance I may have to increase this to cover my time travelling.
I do my best not to require overnight accommodation but on occasions this may be required if my journey is greater than 2 1/2
hours but please contact me as I can often make alternative arrangements.
My current talks are:
1) Forthcoming (from Jan 2009) -
'Cameras and Creatures from Cumbria to Canada'
- 2007 was an amazing year for me as I travelled widely looking for new
material as well as celebrating the great event of becoming 30!! This talk will
take the audience over 3 continents and show many wonderful creatures including
lemurs, bears, dolphins, butterflies, dragonflies and birds.
2) Out Now! - 'A Birding Migration, Birds of Lesvos' -
Lesvos has been well documented for its impressive list of migratory
species passing through each spring. Having visited three years in succession to
witness the spectacle of migration my talk will visit many of the important
birding areas on the island and the value of each to the species that stop to
refuel for their long journeys north. I'll also illustrate many of the common
resident species too as well as some other animals that live on this fantastic
Greek
island.
3) A Wild Grizzly Adventure' - An amazing journey to the Alaskan wilderness, I come face-to-face with some incredible Grizzly Bears. This talk shows some of my favourite images from this trip along with a insight into part of the lives of Grizzlies during the famous salmon run. This is an exceptionally popular talk which will hopefully blow you away with some fantastic close-ups of wild Grizzly Bears.
4) 'Olly Goes Wild On Handa' - After two trips to Handa Island, off the northwest coast of Scotland in 2004, I have prepared a talk on some of the wildlife that can be found on the island along with a visual guided tour around the island.
