An exhibition of memorabilia relating to the life of the late naturalist Sir Peter Scott has gone on show at the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust.

The exhibition at Slimbridge in Gloucestershire celebrates the conservationist's centenary year.

It includes a collection of photographs, books and newspaper cuttings that chart Sir Peter's life as a wildlife artist and sportsman.

The display is open to the public until early August.

The trust was founded in 1946 by Sir Peter, who died in 1989.

Veronica Morris, from the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust, said: "We are thrilled to be able to bring all of these items together to help us celebrate the centenary.

"Sir Peter Scott was a man of very many talents and hopefully the exhibition will remind people of the great diversity of his achievements."
