I was also nominated for 3 other photo awards - with my images of a backlit reed deer coming close in the Creative Visions category, my Japanese swan in mist being nominated for the Scottish Wildlife award, and a nesting parakeet from my local park in the Worldwide Wildlife category. Lastly my video of a city fox's turf wars with a neighbourhood cat was a close forerunner in the Nature Shorts Video categories, beaten to first place by a stunning gannet film by my talented friend Tom Ross.
A nice haul in total!
