4th November
On the 4th November , Tenby Camera Club was pleased to welcome the return of Julian Cremona. An extremely knowledgable speaker, his topic for the evening was “The Hidden World of Pembrokeshire’s Freshwater”
Julian covered many locations throughout Pembrokeshire such as the habitats of Dowrog Common, Wallis Moor, the Cleddau River, Bosheston lakes and garden ponds.
We were given an insight into the biodiversity of life there, both visible and microscopic. Julian explained his techniques to capture his stunning images of the tiny and often transparent species. We were treated to amazing detail of all manner of invertebrates. Insects & their larvae, dragonflies, horseflies, midges, single cell organisms like amoeba, multi celled animals like sponges, flat worms, hydra, larger creatures like swan mussels, snails, spiders, beetles and crayfish all featured as photos and video.
A great alternative view of wildlife from the norm. Julian commented that these habitats and the wildlife present provide an important part of Pembrokeshire’s biodiversity and how worthwhile it is to have a garden pool which very quickly will have an ecosystem of life for you to watch and photograph.
Julian was warmly thanked for his interesting talk and encouraged to return again in the future.
Next week the talk is by Chris Sheppard titled “ Looking Local” , an attempt to overcome the desire to travel far & wide for landscapes .
Please note the talk is on WEDNESDAY 10th NOVEMBER .
It is also hand in for the “Nature” Competition next week.
