Esme has a chat with Chris Packham!

Karen and Esme Langford were fortunate enough to attend the 'Big Cat Festival' in London on 13th April, hosted at the Royal Geographical Society.  An excellent conference with amazing speakers.

Esme took along her copy of the Abington NatureWatch Record, and talked with Chris Packham about wildlife in her village!  Chris was very interested to hear all about this, and looked in some detail at the invertebrate and butterfly lists in the Record.  Esme told him about how she feeds the fox and hedgehog in her garden, and learned that Chris also feeds the foxes in his garden, and is now seeing cubs.

Chris also gave Esme some tips on a photo of a Goldfinch she took, and signed it for her.  A wonderful chat with a really lovely and genuinely interested man!
