NATURAL history expert and TV presenter Chris Packham has been giving pupils at a Hampshire school lessons wildlife photography.

Chris spent several hours at Hampshire Collegiate School near Romsey, talking to pupils and parents about wildlife and he gave them tips on how to get good shots of birds, animals, insects and plants.

During his visit Chris inspected the school’s outdoor wildlife observation hide.

He told pupils that their subject doesn’t have to be glamorous when taking wildlife pictures but it needs to be close and accessible to them.

Chris’s visit was part of the build-up to the school’s Young Art in the Park project run in junction with the Sir Harold Hillier Gardens at Ampfield.
