Weatherwatch: Des Coleman in the Attenborough Nature Reserve

Our Weather Presenter Des Coleman has been out and about across the Midlands for our series "Weatherwatch", meeting those of who who regularly send in lovely weather photos for our 6pm programme forecasts.

Whether it's a landscape, a flower or wildlife, they're seen by thousands of viewers on each of our programmes, so who is the person behind them and what's the story behind their love for weather photography ?

One of those regular contributors is Chloe Eggleton from Nottingham. Des has been to meet her at the Attenborough Nature Reserve, where Chloe says it a magical place to take photos.

She said she visits the greenspace a lot in her spare time and its never a dull place with the landscape changing everytime she takes a trip to it.


Des meets Chloe

The Attenborough Nature Reserve was opened by Sir David Attenborough in 1966.

By 1987 the estate had expanded to 33 reserves, with a mixture of owned sites and management leases. Including highlights such as: Fairham Brook, Clarborough Tunnel, Skylarks (The first wheelchair accessible Nature Reserve in the UK), Chilwell Meadow and Harrisons Plantation.

The Nature Centre houses a host of facilities including meeting rooms, education facilities, interactive displays, a nature shop, and the Cafe and is a valuable resource for Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust.



Watch as Des met our latest weather photographer Chloe, as they tour the reserve.
