Photographer Stephen steals the show with his top nature pictures
NATURE photographer Stephen Robin son stole the show at a recent Ribbles- dale Camera Club winter meeting held at West Bradford Village Hall.
• His talk, entitled: “As I see it,” saw the ■use of his Nikon D300 camera, complete - with a massive telephoto lens on a heavy duty tripod, for high quality full-frame images of small birds. Some of his favourite places for photography are Martin Mere and the grounds of Clitheroe Castle, but for specific birds, Worston and Bowland have been visited frequently this year, i Stephen’s aim is not just to get a good
picture, but to show aspects of the bird’s behaviour which may not have been recorded previously, of obvious use to scientists and conservationists. To assist- this,' impressive montages had been pro duced of feeding Redstarts and the chicks leaving the nest. The dedication of nature photographers was illustrated when Stephen advised that it is better to get the wildlife to come to you, even if this means standing still for two hours! Before turning his attention to other

Blackburn College’s new £13 million University Centre is making excellent progress and is four weeks ahead of schedule.
The College's Chairman of Governors, Sir Bill Taylor (pictured above); Principal, Ian Clinton and Helen Mathers Dean of the College's East Lancashire Institute of Higher Education (ELIHE) visited the site off
. Feilden Street and were delighted with the developments;
Sir Bill said that he couldn't believe how quickly the building has grown since work began in late July.
"It looks brilliant and the speed it's, gone up is very impressive. I went on holiday and when I came back it was
- really starting to take shape - I'm looking forward to seeing it when it's completed."
. Helen Mathers, the Dean of ELIHE, said "the new building is vital to accommodate the growing number of students in higher, education. We are expecting an extra 300 students next year alone."
"There are so many people who live in Blackburn and the surrounding areas who want to go on'to a university - level education, but can't because of either financial or family commitments," she added.
The University Centre is phase two of the College's multi-million development to create a world class campus and is due for completion in September 2009. Phase one, the St Paul's Centre - a new £8.8 million building housing the two areas of • Sixth Form and Computing, opened in 2007.
In June planning permission was granted for phase three - a new £7.6 million motor vehicle department- and phase four of the plan is to construct a brand new core building and then to demolish the existing Feilden Street building.
The final phase, phase five, is to. sympathetically upgrade and . refurbish the existing Victoria
. building with a new roof,-windows ; and structural work as well as updating the Creative Arts building.
