A visit to Alan Saunder's Exhibition (and Martin Mere)
Tony and Dorothy Redford and I met Alan at Mere Sands Wood Nature Reserve on Saturday 30 January to view his exhibition. It is a large and professional-looking display of many of his wildlife prints, some familiar to us, many not.
Although the Nature Reserve itself is of interest, after coffee we all departed for Martin Mere, just minutes away. Martin Mere is partly a birding-site and partly a zoo for birds (and otters, but we didn't see them this time). Rather a lot of swans are wintering there! Together with Alan's exhibition, this is a super combined trip for photographers.
Is it cruel to be amused at the site of ducks trying to land on part-frozen ponds? Perhaps - but that doesn't stop it be amusing!
Alan is exhibitioning between 20 and 30 of his prints at Mere Sands Wood Nature Reserve from January 29th to February 22nd 2010. This is about 50 miles from Hazel Grove, about an hour or so away. Martin Mere is less than 6 miles away from the Reserve.
