TV presenter and naturalist Simon King OBE delighted a packed crowd at the Hallmark Hotel in Handforth on Friday, 21st September, as part of Cheshire Wildlife Trust's 50th anniversary celebrations.
The globe-trotting cameraman took 400 guests on a whirlwind tour of almost 30 years of exploits in the world's wildest places from sharing an Arctic portakabin with wolves to his beloved leopards in Africa.
The tour came full circle back to the UK with stories from his time in the Shetland Islands and Mr King delighted the audience with impersonations of rutting deer, through the use of plumbing equipment, along with tawny owls and puffins.
Members of the audience had travelled from as far afield as Sussex, Nottingham and Cumbria to spend an evening with the former Springwatch presenter and current Wildlife Trusts UK president.
The evening was opened by Cheshire Wildlife Trust's own president Felicity Goodey CBE.
Cheshire Wildlife Trust expects the final fundraising total from the event to reach more than £5,000, the proceeds of which will go to support their conservation projects across the Cheshire region.
