Hi All,
Thought I would post my favourite image of 2008. I was priviliged enough to be able to record a bit of history, the first Peregrine's to breed in Suffolk for 200 years. Some of the behaviour I saw these Peregrines doing over the Summer will stay with me for a long time
Feel free to post your favourite and why
Regards
Rob

I've had a pretty frantic year with work and other commitments (slavery in the garden) so the days I had out this year were very few, in fact I think my only serious full days NH photography was the Welsh Gigrin trip.
So it is easy to narrow down my choices this year! - By far the highlight of my year was the tawny owl chick at Elan Valley that fledged from an owl box in the day between my recce and leading the trip. So a combination of right place and right time and a great day meeting other NPNers
Somehow I have to repeat this trick of finding something elusive next year as well.....

No photo could ever get close to the thrill of having a Badger come right up to me and sniff my foot That was the highlight of my wildlife-related year even beating coming face-to-face with that wild Stag or seeing young wild Red Deer Calves.

Had quite a busy year, been and done lots of things locally.. I've taken a few favourites but my Stag picture has to be one of my best from this year.
Merry christmas everyone!

Hard to decide but this seedling auricula bred by me in 2001, thought lost but now found has to be one of my favourites.
The petals have reverted to leaf tissue and so have the male sexual
organs, hence the double flower. I am hoping the female sexual organs are still normal so I can cross-pollinate it in the future.
Merry Christmas.

probably this image for me, from my work experience in Canada
not my usual choice of subject but it has a slow burning hold on me
certainly an interesting topic has really made me think about how sucessful this year has been
