On Sunday evening 27th May, during our 40th Anniversary Exhibition weekend, Alan Willis took centre stage at the Overton Community Centre to give one of his popular talk and slideshows on kingfishers.

For ten years, photographer and videographer Alan Willis has been studying the kingfishers that make their homes along Hampshire’s riverbanks.

A member of Overton Photographic Club, Alan is at his happiest around kingfishers and loves sharing his knowledge in his talks.

As Alan says,

“Very few English birds can match the beauty and colour of the kingfisher. I am happy to answer any questions about kingfishers and how best to photograph them.”

We knew we’d be guaranteed a fascinating insight in to all aspects of the lives of this complicated species and Alan did not disappoint.

If you have a love of kingfishers or our local wildlife and didn’t catch Alan this time, we hope you make it to one of his next talks.
