Veolia Wildlife Photographer of the Year Competition 2009 FINALIST.

I was delighted to make the finals of the most prestigious wildlife photography competition in the world this year! The competition saw more than 42,000 entries this year so to reach the finals was quite an achievement. . . more coming on this soon . . . I reached the finals of the 'BBC Young Wildlife Photographer of the Year' competition twice in my youth, so it is a great feeling to be reaching such a high standard in the adult photography section!

More August Wee Beasties

There are now two Wood Mice creeping silently into the garden at night to feast on the peanuts in the bird feeder. One is extremely shy and darts off as soon as I try and approach. The other is the Wood Mouse in the images here which does not seem to mind me at all or my Nikon D300 and AF-S Micro Nikkor 105mm VR lens. These images were taken hand-held as was the Moorhen below, using a 200-400mm VR lens.
