The Len Pick Trust is looking forward to welcoming distinguished wildlife photographer Nick Williams to the Len Pick Memorial Evening, which is set to return to the Bourne Corn Exchange on Wednesday, 11^th October 2023 following a 2 year break due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

A former primary school headteacher, Nick has travel the world taking beautiful wildlife photography and presenting shows to schools & adult groups for over 30 years. Nick’s photographs have appeared regularly in popular publications such as Bird Watching Magazine and Birds Illustrated.

From his home on the edge of the Lincolnshire Fens, Nick has been lucky enough to travel to many parts of the world, taking photographs as he goes and using them in his illustrated shows. The Len Pick Memorial Evening will be a ‘travelogue’ of his experiences, containing lots of interesting facts, humour and haunting music sequences. Nick is no stranger to the Memorial Evening, having given a short presentation at the event in 2007 before Dr. David Bellamy OBE took to the stage.
