Around £2,500 was raised for a wildlide rescue charity on Saturday (May 12th) when a newspaper photographer gave a talk in Burnham-On-Sea about his work in capturing images of animals.
Richard Austin, a senior photographer for the Western Morning News, gave the talk in front of more than 60 people in Burnham’s Princess Theatre.
£2,000 of donations were also given to East Huntspill’s Secret World Wildlife Rescue Centre towards its fundraising appeal to build a new animal hospital.
“We thank all those who supported this event, which was a unique opportunity to meet Richard and find out what it takes to get those special pictures,” the charity’s founder Pauline Kidner told Burnham-On-Sea.com.
