Title: Snow stag
Description: I took this picture in Richmond Park on a cold morning at the start of January. I spotted the deer in the wood. I followed them there and found this big stag. As I started to photograph him with my new camera it started to snow hard. I love going to Richmond Park to watch the deer there with my dad throughout the year. The park is local to where we live and provides a great place to see wildlife on our door step. -

Title: Regal raven
Description: This photo was taken at the Tower of London. I liked how the raven was looking away from me and the colour of the light in the background. -

Title: Flying penguins
Description: I visited this island whilst we were living in the Falklands and it is one of the most beautiful places I have seen. This photo was taken on North Beach - there is a sea lion there who regularly attacks the penguins as they return in the late afternoon. On this occasion the weather was amazing and we counted 5 sea lions who appeared to be working together hunting. I had been trying to get a picture of the Gentoos as they land on the beach and had found it hard as they come in so quick, but this day huge groups were coming in together and then running up the beach to get away. It was quite exciting watching all this but also a little sad. I was really pleased with how this picture turned out. -

Title: Red-crested pochard
Description: This photo was taken whilst I was walking along through the wetlands, and I saw a beautiful, golden crest with a stunning pink bill in front of me. The background was not distracting so that it didn't take away from the effect of the subject. In order to get the best photo, I knew that I needed to get eye level with the subject and focus in on its eye. I kept a suitable distance away and remained stealthy so as not to disturb the bird and allowing it to understand that I wasn't a threat. The pochard was perched on a precariously placed root with the water behind it. I only took two photos of the bird as it was the perfect shot. -
