Emma Turner was a pioneering Edwardian naturalist and photographer who spent 20 years living at Hickling Broad, on a house boat that she designed herself, and in a hut on a small island that is now called Turner’s Island. She learnt the ways of the marshmen and documented the birds and other wildlife around her, famously taking the first photographs of bitterns nesting again in the UK after a 100 year period of absence. She was one of the first ten women to be elected a Fellow of the Linnaean Society and was awarded the Gold Medal of the Photographic Society. James Parry of the Breckland Society will give an engaging talk about her life and work.
