BPN in Wildlife photographer competition

[Jerry van Dijk]

With all the commotion about the winner being stripped of his award, we would almost overlook the fact that BPN member Chris van Rooyen got a 'Runner up' image in the Veolia Environnement Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2009 competition in the category Animal behaviour: all other animals with a great image of a flying locust! See it here:
