MORREY SALMON who must now be regarded as the father of British bird photography” (Eric Hosking OBE. Bird photographer). “He was a legendary figure from way back in the early days of conservation in this country” (Sir Peter Scott CH, CBE, DSC & Bar, FRS, FZS, Founder of the WWT and WWF).“He – by quite extraordinary efforts well outside what might be regarded as a norm – made a major contribution to RAF operations in North Africa, the Mediterranean and the Balkans. His dedication and professional competence set a standard which has been reflected in RAF Regiment operations ever since” (Air Vice-Marshall Donald Pocock). “I especially valued the leadership he was able to give in Wales in regard to ornithology and conservation” (Max Nicholson, President RSPB). What’s more Cardiff Naturalist’s photo wing was linked to Cardiff Camera Club in the first decades of the 20th century. Bring your friends and family!
