Wellcome Collection, London

Author, photographer and conservationist, David Plummer is usually in his element when watching and photographing British wildlife. However, when the opportunity to visit Galapagos came up in April 2012, leading a tour with ethical wildlife tour operator, Steppes Discovery, he couldn't resist!

Join us for this special event to hear all about David's recent trip to Galapagos and the peaks and perils of wildlife photography, including the chance to see some of his amazing images.

There are few places on earth that can rival Galapagos when it comes to photographing great wildlife - we hope you will be able to join us for what promises to be a fantastic evening.


Tickets cost £22 or £18 for members of the Trust.  For more information or to book your place, please contact the office (gct@gct.org or 020 7399 7440).
