    Default BPN in Wildlife photographer competition

    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:

    Congratulations Chris!

    Wow, what a great shot. Must have been incredible to see all those locusts migrating. Excellent work as always Chris.

    Chris, I saw your image earlier today when I went to see the travelling exhibition at Nature In Art in Gloucestershire, where I live. It looked great - congratulations - proud of you!
    Best,
    Nicki

    FYI The winning image had been removed and replaced by an explanatory note...:(
