We are seeing lots of sunshine this week, so a little garden maintenance was needed down at Attenborough Nature Centre.
Hope you are all managing to enjoy the sunshine and see some of the spring birds that have arrived on the reserve.

Our last talk of the current season on Monday 20th April 2026 is 'Botswana' with Nigel Slater

Botswana's enormous wildlife reserves allow animals to roam freely. With big game and exotic birds, this talk showcases a classic African safari. We also cross into Zimbabwe to experience the magnificent Victoria falls – 'the smoke that thunders'.

Hours of patient study have been condensed to bring us this presentation. A truly revealing evening awaits us.
