A few weeks ago, St Andrew’s University tweeted that they were offering tickets to attend a talk from the internationally renowned Naturalist, Sir David Attenborough. This seemed like one of those, once in a life time opportunities and just as the clock hit 6pm all those days ago…I hit the register your details button and sat back and waited to see if I had got lucky – aparently so did another 1500 people! And with only 200 pairs of tickets avaible, there were going to be a few dispointed people out there!
So, I consider myself very very lucky indeed to have attended this special event, along with my husband. Sir David gave a talk on the British Naturalist Alfred Russell Wallace . Sir David Attenborough will be awarded an honorary degree by the University of St Andrews this week.
He’s the reason a climbed up a mountain in Rwanda to meet gorillas 🙂 very cool atmosphere filled shots of a living legend
WOW Andy!!! YOu did? Ohhh – got pics? That sounds amazing!
Hi Zoe
here are a few of my pics of the gorilla troop I visited, I wish I had the camera and lensI use now but they are still capable of making me go all mushy when i look at them.

Oh WOW Andy!! I would have loved to have experienced that – the closest I’ve got to a gorrilla is in a Zoo in America. It was really moving – I can’t quite imagine how it would be to see them in the wild, in their proper habitat. Thank you so much for sharing the link.
