I'm in
The very first post on this blog, made before we moved house, was about a photography competition run by Scottish Natural Heritage. The closing date is the end of July, so I thought I'd better get my skates on and enter if I was going to.
After much mulling over, one of the dragonfly pictures and the foxglove picture have been entered (or they will be when Outlook Express finishes chugging its way through 12MB of pictures - they wanted hi-res jpegs), so watch this space. There are an awful lot of very talented photographers up here, so if I make the long list of the final 30 I shall be over the moon and if I'm in the top 3 you'll hear the squealing from the other end of the country!
Oh, and in the course of writing the blurb to go with the entry, I discovered that the dragonfly is a Golden-ringed dragonfly or Cordulegaster boltonii - probably a female.
Results announced at the end of August, anyway. I'm going to have to pass on the Countryfile competition this year, I've got nothing good enough that fits the theme (Nature in motion).

Notes to self...
One week to go until the moving begins, so technically this blog hasn't started yet (which means you can't read this, honest ;o), but I've heard about a competition I want to enter and wanted to make a note of it while I remember.
Scottish Natural Heritage is holding a photography competition as part of their annual Biodiversity week (19th-25th May). The theme is 'Natural Inspiration' and entrants are asked to capture an image of nature on digital cameras and email the photo as a jpeg attachment to bit@snh.gov.uk with 'photo contest' in the subject line. Entries must be original, have a title and include information about the Scottish location and the name and contact details of the photographer.
The closing date is 31st July. Full rules and regs plus the top 30 pictures from last year at http://www.snh.org.uk/biodiversityweek/photo_contest.asp and there are some fabulous prizes - 1st place gets a day with professional wildlife photographer Neil McIntyre, 2nd place gets a whale and dolphin-watching trip from the Isle of Mull and 3rd place is a year's subscription to BBC Wildlife magazine.
