Speak Series: In Pursuit of the Improbable with Stephen Powles Join award‑winning wildlife photographer and conservationist Stephen Powles for a lively and insightful journey into the natural world. In this talk, Stephen shares a medley of amusing, surprising and deeply informative wildlife stories, revealing how patience, curiosity and an understanding of animal behaviour helped him capture some of his most challenging photographs and film sequences. Expect encounters with pine martens, a remarkably “smart” mouse, hornets, tawny owls, and other elusive species — each with its own improbable tale. A former vet, Stephen changed career to pursue his lifelong passion for wildlife, photography and conservation. His work has appeared on television, in the national press and has earned major awards. Much of his photography focuses on the fascinating wildlife found in and around his Devon home. A video introduction to this event can be viewed HERE .
