In lockdown Lynn realised she could see Kingfishers nesting from her home office window. This prompted Lynn to use the "proper camera" rather than her mobile phone to take photos of the nature in our garden and the Lode that runs beside our garden. We produced calendars and donations for these helped us reach our target.
