Pleasant surprise

In the News section on my website some of you will have noticed that last month I was awarded both category winner and a highly commended in the online magazine www.wildlifeextra.com UK Wildlife Photography Competition.  As a result one of the prizes was the newly released book Where to go wild in Britain.  A lavish coffee table book basically outlining great places to watch wildlife in the UK. 

 I have to admit that when I received the book one of the things I did was go straight to the back to the picture credits section to see if any of my own images appeared in it through my agent FLPA and indeed it did.  Several in fact, the most notable being a double page opener to the month of December.

The image was taken on the North Kent Marshes one very cold, foggy morning.  Conditions like this always prove a challenge for the photographer especially when the rising sun is rapidly burning through the mist.
