About the event

NWT Cley hosts a joint NWT/BTO exhibition exploring the life of pioneering ornithologist and natural history photographer, Emma Turner. Turner’s ground-breaking photography captured aspects of bird behaviour never before documented. Her knowledge of the birds of Norfolk was undisputed, and in the early 1920s she took on the position of Watcher at Scolt Head Island on the north Norfolk coast, looking after the large colonies of terns and other breeding birds. Discover her life and work. 

 As part of the exhibition there will be a morning archivist drop in on Thursday 20 November.
