Robin Brown had never taken a photograph before lockdown and now loves taking wildlife photos

Photographs taken by a nine-year-old boy who only started taking snaps while on his daily walk with his mum during lockdown are to go on show.

Robin Brown, from Denton, Norfolk, has teamed up with photographer Nick Jermy to put on an exhibition on 19 February in aid of the Norfolk Wildlife Trust.

The schoolboy said he wanted to support the trust because he liked "taking photos of nature".

"When I'm older, I definitely want to be a photographer," he added.

The exhibition will be held at Denton Village Hall, external between 11:00 and 15:00 GMT.
