Hi All,

September's Theme of Animals on the IUCN Red List with Near Threatened or Worse Status proved to be a popular theme with lots of participation. Hopefully, conservation efforts will pay off and these animals will continue to be around for years to come. Special thanks to Gabriela for judging this month.

Bragging rights this month go to:

1st Place: Sanjeev Aurangabadkar, "Wild Dog Pup" - http://www.birdphotographers.net/for...5-Wild-dog-pup

2nd Place: Haseeb Badar, "Charged Up" - http://www.birdphotographers.net/for...29-Charged-UP-!!

3rd Place: Andreas Liedmann, "Indian Rhino Sparring" - http://www.birdphotographers.net/for...Rhino-sparring

Congrats to Sanjeev, Haseeb and Andreas!

Let's start posting images of wildlife with horns, antlers or tusks for our October Theme.

Rachel, Steve and Morkel<strike></strike>
