Lovely, printed and distributed the link to a number of friends who are all well impressed.
Confession time.
The caption to "Miss August" seems to imply that I am some sort of intrepid wildlife photographer, and now that it is known that the polar bear birth scenes in "The Frozen Planet" were filmed in a Dutch zoo with artificial snow. I should come clean.
The roof of our wee hoose overhangs the front by around six feet, and the doors from the big room open onto a verandah below the overhang. As the hoose is built on a slope, this verandah is about 4 feet above ground level and protected by wooden railings. Smoking is not permitted within the hoose, so I am regularly out there pacing about. So the shot was taken with the remains of the dinnertime glass of red to hand, a fag in the other, crouched behind the railings, at a distance of around 8ft from the subject. She had been named "Fearless" as she was always the bravest, her brother was "Spotty" from the markings on his chest, and the mother is "Mum". The male attempted to take here as his own territory but Mum has seen him off and we are pretty sure that he is the one spotted in the hotel (a mile away). Fearless is still about, I saw her last night, and tonight will tell her that she features in the WFF calendar.
Very nice, excellent photos and well put together.

It's a great photo. She is incredibly cute, but it's a deception. Like most females she would bite your f*****g hand off given half a chance. :lol:
Absolutely crackin' Fred.
Lovely job.
Would it be churlish of me to ask if Balmaha is spelled Balmha on occasion?

I just put it together Euan, only photo of mine is on the cover. The guys really did take some super photos!
Ian,
I googled that. Balmha, it would seem is in India.

Great pics, the scottish brookie is gorgeous. A wee note june the 17th -fathers day, hopefully a ticket for a weekender?
A remarkably coloured fish indeed. I'll be up there next season too! :8)
Great set of pictures - well done to the photographers and the editor !
Can the calendar be viewed by the public or is it only forum members ?

It is publicly viewable.
O.K. cheers Fred, I'll pass the link on to some folk who would probably appreciate the calendar but aren't forum members.

and why he has worn out his knees.
With all the cracking pictures that were put in by the members Fred, it must have been a tough choice.
A cracking calendar, well done :)

It was . No one should be offended if their pic didn't make it. There are only 12 months and stacks of pics to choose from. I had to get as good a mix of subjects as possible.
Fine work Fred. Some great pictures there. I just love the one of the seal.
Excellent work Fred
For those of you T&S readers, you get a free calendar this month.
1/2 page calendar, 1/2 page advert, no nice photaes!
I have only just looked and downloaded the WWF Calender. Fantastic pictures and a great idea. Thanks Fred.
