Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust (WWT) photography contest, Britain - 04 Jan 2012

Wonderful Wetland Wildlife Caught On Camera
These incredible photos show the wonderful array of wildlife which can be found hidden in Britain's endangered wetlands.
A remarkable 200,000 waterbirds live and breed among a network of 2000 hectares of wetlands across the UK.
Ducks and dragonflies, grebes and gulls and swans and otters live side by side in Britain's fast-disappearing wetland reserves.
In winter they are joined by thousands of migratory birds, creating some of nature's most spectacular sights.
Now the inhabitants of this watery world can be seen in this amazing collection of winning entries in a photographic competition organised by The Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust (WWT).
"Wetlands are extraordinarily beautiful and the UK has some of the world's best wetland sites," said Martin Spray, chief executive of the WWT.
"The quality of entries in the latest heat has been outstanding this year and the competition encourages people to get really close to some fantastic wildlife.
"Waterbirds are some of our most elegant and colourful animals and are also very photogenic."
The pictures have all been shot at the WWT's nine specialist wetland centres in the UK, where the public can get up close with wildlife and waterfowl.
The winners beat more than 2,500 entries in the autumn heat of the competition.
Categories included wetland wildlife, wetland landscapes, wildlife and people and the young photographer of the year.
The cleverly captured images include a flock of flying black and white Barnacle Geese, an inquisitive duck staring straight at the camera, a gull scratching its leg and a fluffy black necked swan.
A beautiful sunset picture, taken by Ian Cook was the winner of the wetland landscape at the Washington centre in Tyne and Wear.

In winter they are joined by thousands of migratory birds, creating some of nature's most spectacular sights.
Now the inhabitants of this watery world can be seen in this amazing collection of winning entries in a photographic competition organised by The Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust (WWT).
"Wetlands are extraordinarily beautiful and the UK has some of the world's best wetland sites," said Martin Spray, chief executive of the WWT.
"The quality of entries in the latest heat has been outstanding this year and the competition encourages people to get really close to some fantastic wildlife.
"Waterbirds are some of our most elegant and colourful animals and are also very photogenic."
The pictures have all been shot at the WWT's nine specialist wetland centres in the UK, where the public can get up close with wildlife and waterfowl.
The winners beat more than 2,500 entries in the autumn heat of the competition.
Categories included wetland wildlife, wetland landscapes, wildlife and people and the young photographer of the year.
The cleverly captured images include a flock of flying black and white Barnacle Geese, an inquisitive duck staring straight at the camera, a gull scratching its leg and a fluffy black necked swan.
A beautiful sunset picture, taken by Ian Cook was the winner of the wetland landscape at the Washington centre in Tyne and Wear.

Wonderful Wetland Wildlife Caught On Camera
These incredible photos show the wonderful array of wildlife which can be found hidden in Britain's endangered wetlands.
A remarkable 200,000 waterbirds live and breed among a network of 2000 hectares of wetlands across the UK.
Ducks and dragonflies, grebes and gulls and swans and otters live side by side in Britain's fast-disappearing wetland reserves.

Wonderful Wetland Wildlife
These incredible photos capture the wonderful array of wildlife which can be found in Britain's endangered wetlands.
Ducks and dragonflies, grebes and gulls, swans and otters all live side by side in our fast-disappearing wetland reserves.
Now they can be seen up close and personal in this amazing collection of pictures - all entries in the autumn heat of The Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust (WWT) photographic competition.
"In the last millennium about 90 per cent of UK wetlands have disappeared and in the last 100 years 20 ponds a day were destroyed," said Martin Spray, chief executive of WWT.
"All around the world, wetlands are being lost or damaged more rapidly than any other ecosystem.
"In the last century, the amount of inland wetland alone has halved - because of land reclamation, changes to agriculture, pollution, water diversions and other developments.
"Such losses are catastrophic for wildlife. Scientists blame them for pushing a third of all amphibians, 15 per cent of water birds, over 40 per cent of reptiles, 30 per cent of mammals and six per cent of fish species close to extinction."
The pictures have all been shot at the WWT's nine specialist wetland centres in the UK, where the public can see wildlife living in this watery world.
The snaps also include a number of non-native species of ducks, swans and otters which have all been brought to the reserves from wetlands abroad.
One photo shows a Shoveler duck at Slimbridge staring into the camera, taken by schoolboy Ben Cullen.
Another features a dragonfly with big bulging eyes balanced between two stalks of grass, taken at the London Wetland Centre by Carolyne Barber.
Two frogs also at the London Wetland Centre are almost camouflaged in a picture by Ian Taylor, while Eric Burn has snapped an otter at...

A rare lesser flamingo chick is being raised by a flock of Caribbean flamingos at the National Wetland Centre in Llanelli,Wales. The young bird is only the second lesser flamingo to be born in captivity in the UK and is the first in Wales. The egg containing the youngster was laid at the Slimbridge Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust in Gloucestershire. However, to give it the unborn chick the best chance in life it was moved to the Carribbean flamingo flock at Llanelli.

Mute Swans form a heart shape
Swans at the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust at Slimbridge in Gloucestershire, Britain - 10 Jan 2009
They say that swans mate for life and these two mute swans are certainly birds of a feather that flock together. The two left onlookers in no doubt of their feelings as they took a leisurely swim. With Valentine's Day fast approaching, the two embodied the meaning of the term 'love birds'; snuggling up to one another, beak to beak, and forming a heart shape with their long necks - proving that love is indeed in the air.

Mum flies in with a fish for the second family of the summer
So Near Yet So Far for Hungry Kingfisher
SO NEAR YET SO FAR FOR HUNGRY KINGFISHER
It can be a hard life being a young kingfisher - especially when mother has other hungry mouths to feed.
This female kingfisher was caught on camera teasing one of her brood by placing a fish into its beak - only to change her mind and snatch it back.
She then flew away to feed her second brood, which were newly hatched.
These photographs were captured by photographer Richard Austin at the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust's centre at Slimbridge, Gloucestershire.
He said: "It was amazing to witness the kingfishers trying to persuade the parent to give them their fish."
Mr Austin added: "Now is a great time to see kingfishers because they are heading to and from the nest every 20 minutes or so."
