HRH Princess Anne

I was very honoured to be invited to a reception at the House of Lords last week to celebrate the first stage of a programme to eradicate rats from South Georgia.
The event was hosted by Baroness Barbara Young of Old Scone and attended by HRH Princess Anne.
Top conservationists, scientists and those with an interest in the Antarctic, including wildlife producer Alastair Fothergill, were among the guests.
The conservation project will help protect the unique colonies of ground nesting birds in South Georgia.
