WINNER - BIRD BEHAVIOUR - BIRD PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE YEAR

My image of a herring gull snatching a Cornish pasty recently won the Bird Behaviour category in the Bird Photographer of the Year Awards 2016. I also received a Highly Commended award for my lesser spotted woodpecker image in the Birds in the Environment category.
