Welcome...

The West Moors Directory

Dear Neighbours, Welcome to your February edition of The West Moors Directory! Despite the mixed Edition 106 weather we did manage to get out in Nellie, The Dorset Publications Campervan and this month she took us to The Solent Sky Museum.

Hayden was so thrilled!

Nellie, actually has her own Facebook and Twitter pages now. There is also a new Debbie & Stephen Corney fun page right here in the with our son, Hayden magazine where you can test your knowledge of the South and see if you can recognise where she is‌so Where is Nellie?

Has your washing machine broken down? Has your boiler finally given up? Do you need to refresh your room with new curtains, new flooring? Is the pond in disarray? Do you have a spare room and want to earn some extra money by helping foreign students? Do your teeth need a polish? Are you paying too much for your electricity bill? Are the drains blocked? Is the roof in need of repair? Do you deserve a night out for a change? Well, you can find all of these companies and much more inside The West Moors Directory.

There are also lots of different articles for you. So do grab a cuppa and have a quiet half an hour on your own to have a read. If you have a local club you run or know of a good deed that someone did, then please let us know. If there is anything else you would like to see in your little Directory, then please give me a call or send an email. I would love to hear from you. If you have a business and would like to be included then please give me a call too. We offer free editorials with three month packages. Oh yes, do enter our own photographic competition. You could have your photo printed on the front cover!

Stephen and I hope that you have a good month and that the sun will return soon!

Planning for your future care Throughout our busy lives, we make arrangements for life events such as getting married, having a baby or writing a will. But most of us will not have thought about planning our end of life care, or having these discussions with our loved ones so that they know what we would want. This would be particularly important if we were to go on to lose the ability to make decisions for ourselves.

At The Royal Bournemouth and Christchurch Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust we want to provide good end of life care for our patients. This might mean they spend their last days in their place of choice, comfortable, and with their families and friends.

For us to give good end of life care, we need to know about your wishes so that we can do our best to meet them. If you are able to make your wishes known, we will do our best to follow them wherever possible.

The Macmillan Unit at Christchurch Hospital offers specialist inpatient care to patients at the end of life, and support to their families. The team based at the Macmillan Unit also offer specialist advice 24 hours a day to help deal with problems in the community and in the acute hospital, which is where people are cared for through their final days.

Advance care planning involves talking to your family, friends and health professionals (GP, nurse or hospital doctor) about what is important to you, so that they are able to work with you to plan for what you want. This becomes particularly important if you later become less well and are unable to tell people your wishes.

You may want to talk about: • where you would want to be cared for - some people say that they would want to stay at home if they become less well. However, this may not be a realistic choice in some circumstances, for instance, if you live alone

The West Moors Directory

• are there certain treatments that you would not want? Do you need to find out more about your options? Some treatments may cause more harm than good. For example, cardiopulmonary resuscitation on a frail elderly patient is rarely successful and frequently causes harm such as fractured ribs • your wishes and preferences - how do you prefer things? - would you rather have a side room or share a bay with others?

• do you like to sleep with the lights on? Is there anyone in particular that you would want to visit you?

• do you have religious beliefs that are important to you and that you would want to be considered if you were at the end of your life?

• who you would like to be consulted on your behalf if you were unable to make your own decisions?

• practical things, such as who would look after your pets • how to let people know your wishes Regardless of where you may spend your final days, good advance care planning is important so that others can take your wishes into consideration. It ensures that your preferences are known and gives you a degree of control.

At our hospitals there are a number of things we are doing to ensure that we can provide good end of life care and support to our patients and their families: • we have appointed a dedicated nurse to support patients at the end of life • all wards have an end of life care champion - a member of nursing staff with particular expertise • there are monthly teaching sessions open to all staff • the Macmillan Unit is providing advance care planning training for staff in the community The NHS in Dorset has produced an advance care planning guide to help you prepare for the future and assist with practical arrangements.

Farmer Palmers made a choice to work with children & animals!!

It’s a constant surprise that there is any room left on the Farmer Palmers Farm Park letterhead after listing all of the awards that this fabulously family run farm park has won! And every one more than worthy! They have just added the Primary Times Overall Winner 2013 award, voted for by the fabulous readers of the popular parent/children’s magazine, and Dorset Tourism award to the list.

As they say – every picture tells a story – so have a good look at these pictures and you’ll understand where we are coming from! When did you last visit? 2014 is a good year to live for the moment, set a date to go and see how much they have added. One thing is for sure, the grass does not grow under Farmer Palmer’s feet!

This is a haven of fun for the under 8s and therefore designed specifically for you and your family! It is secure, it is spacey, and it is stimulating and fun! The interaction between the animals and children is magical! The key here at Farmer Palmer’s Farm Park is authenticity – remember this was a real working farm and the family are farmers! Now in their 16th year – hold your horses – can that be?

So the tractor ride is on a real tractor, the straw mountain is harvested straw, the walk is in woodland and there is a real Farmer! Remember the indoor and outdoor play areas help to burn off that excess energy while you take time out to relax.

The animals are loved and looked after as part of the extended family, and

what a big family it is! Ponies, donkeys, alpacas, rheas, lambs, deer, sheep, chicken, pigs, cows and guinea pigs… you’re in Farmer Palmer land now and the word is – spring babies are all on their way. Cute chicks, lambs, baby goats and piglets are all due and will be keen to meet your little ones.

The hands on feeding sessions can take all sorts of funny turns as obviously the Palmers have taken the executive decision to work with both children and animals!

Staff have an excellent attitude, are friendly and approachable, understanding the needs of parents with little ones.

There seems to be a never ending

19 wish list of fun, entertainment and amusement – with of course some cunning, (and to children), invisible education.

The new plans for the park include a new barn which is being created by a team of local craftsmen, builders and architects. Eventually it will be an exciting area for the animals and will mean new breeds can be brought on to the farm. Animals always give the park a platform for imagination and theatre focussing on interaction from the children. The Palmers love attention to detail and It is, admittedly, taking time to “get it right”. This bold and brave new build can be followed on Facebook as updates are available!

2013 has seen additional investment in the form of a new bio mass boiler (an example of the forward thinking of this family) which is now heating the shop, the offices and the Hen House. They say that the site is also fuelled by solar energy – but we genuinely believe that all the energy that makes this farm park such a massive success (endorsed by the many annual pass holders, devoted staff and the wonderful Trip Advisor Reviews prove it) comes from Sandra and Phillip’s drive and imaginations – and quite frankly long may it last!

Two factors rule at farmer Palmers Farm Park and they are fun and safety

The West Moors Directory

– what a recipe for keeping those little ones happy! The entry price is great value and there are all kinds of ticket incentives throughout the year keep your eye on Facebook and the website.

There’s the fantastic Hen House Café rammed full of tasty homemade goodies, ideal for re-fuelling. The homemade cakes, with a cup of coffee are reason enough to steer across the county and make a day trip to one of the best value for money attractions around.

Bring your camera – and that’s all you need, everything else is laid on.

The annual passes work out to be the equivalent of £1.00 a week or £40 a year. That will take the sting out of hearing your little ones say: “Mum, I want to go to Farmer Palmers again tomorrow!” www.farmerpalmers.co.uk

Law Spot ...providing the answers

to your legal questions

Every month the solicitors and lawyers at Harold G Walker will be providing answers to your questions about the law.

Do I have the right to work flexibly, when I return from maternity leave?

No, you do not have an automatic right to return to work and work in a more flexible way. What you have is a right to request to work more flexibly.

If your request is in respect of the child you have given birth to and you have or expect to have responsibility for the child’s upbringing and are making the application in order to care for that child; then provided you are also employed, have 26 weeks’ continuous employment at the date of your request and have not made another request to work flexibly within the preceding 12 months, you will be eligible.

You can then make a formal request to change the hours you work, the times you are required to work and/or to work from a different location, i.e. home.

You should submit your written application to your employer setting out the work pattern that you

My father died recently leaving shares worth £20,000. Do I need to get a Grant of Probate in order to sell them?

Nicola Nicole Lowe

Probate Solicitor

Obtaining a Grant of Probate is the responsibility of the Executors of your Late Father’s Estate. The Executors can appoint a firm of solicitors to handle probate administration and

would like, specifying your entitlement to make it, together with any effect that you anticipate the proposed work pattern would have on your employer’s business and how such effects might be accommodated or addressed in practice.

Within 28 days of receiving your request, your employer must arrange a meeting with you to discuss the application and within 14 days of the meeting your employer must write to you to either agree to the new work pattern, or provide you with grounds of rejection and set out the appeal procedure.

If you are unsuccessful you will have 14 days to Dee Woodcock appeal the decision and 14 Employment Solicitor days thereafter you should receive a final decision. to take on the responsibility for these assets. A Grant will be required when the person who died leaves over £5,000, stocks and shares, insurance policies, property or land in their own name or as tenants in common. However a Grant may not be needed where the deceased left less than £5,000, they owned everything jointly with someone else or everything passes to them. A solicitor can help wind up an Estate, a process which can be complex. In this scenario it would appear that your Father’s Executor would need to take out a Grant of Probate in order to access the shares.

West Moors Parish Council Legacy Award Winner We are continuing on from the success in 2012 of the West Moors Parish Council’s Legacy Award which was set up to mark the Olympic Games in London in order to help an aspiring sports star aged between 11 and 17, who is a resident of West Moors.

In its inaugural year the award was given to Joe Trussell who excelled in Jitsu.

Applicants for the award in 2013 were of a very high standard and the Parish Council had a hard choice to make.

In December, West Moors Parish Council was pleased to announce that Elisabeth Hood was to be the recipient of the award for 2013, which was up to ÂŁ1,000.

Elisabeth competes in Triathlons and is currently a member of the National Core Triathlon Olympic Talent Squad. She had to overcome a major accident in October 2012 that left her in a coma for a short period. Elisabeth has shown dedication and persistence in order to bring herself back to fitness and has shown this by winning the Triathlon Eton Dorney youth category in August 2013 as well as many other achievements.

On 30th January 2013 a formal presentation took place, prior to

the meeting of the Parish Council, when Elisabeth was presented with an engraved glass trophy. She will be spending the award money on a hard case for her race bike to protect it when it is air freighted to various parts of the world for use in competitions.

The parish council will be inviting applications for the Legacy Award in 2014, so if you know of an aspiring young person please contact the parish office on 01202 861044 for an application form.

Chairman of West Moors Parish Council Cllr Pete Holden presenting the award to Elisabeth Hood

Talking about Wildlife...

The Common Dormouse Despite its elusiveness, the common or hazel dormouse, with its fairy tale looks, is one of the most popular British mammals. It is famous for its penchant for a good sleep, and, being arboreal, spends most of its active time up in the tree canopy searching for food. Dormice are also nocturnal and hence even more difficult to spot.

The tiny dormouse’s round body is covered with golden coloured fur, and large black eyes are an indication of its nocturnal existence. The adults only grow up to 6 to 9 cm in length, with a slightly shorter bushy tail, and weigh from about 25 to 40 grams at their heaviest, right before hibernation. The hibernation period generally lasts from October to April or May, in a hibernation nest built on the ground.

This is a vulnerable time for the dormouse, and not all survive it. The dormouse diet mainly consists of nuts, berries, owers and pollen, as well as small insects.

Hazelnuts are of particular importance when they prepare for hibernation by building up body fat.

Dormouse is most often found in deciduous woodland with plenty of undergrowth, hazel coppice and thick hedgerows, and its current stronghold is in the southern counties of England and Wales. Once widespread in Britain, the dormouse population has decreased dramatically in the last 100 years, despite the fact that they have few natural predators. Dormice are extremely vulnerable to changes in habitat and the decline in numbers is mainly due to changes in woodland management and the resulting habitat loss. Today, dormice are a rare and endangered species. They are strictly protected by law and it is illegal to even handle one without a license.

Clarity Hearing Solutions are awarded Gold Standard rating in new best practice scheme Clarity Hearing Solutions in Christchurch and Verwood has been awarded ‘Consultant Approved’ accreditation

by Phonak, the world’s leading manufacturer of hearing instruments. In a first of its kind, the award recognises the centre as offering an outstanding level of care to their customers and best practice in audiology.

To qualify under the ‘Consultant Approved Site’ scheme and become recognised as a centre of excellence, audiologists at Clarity Hearing Solutions were required to pass a series of audits against best practice set by an independent advisory panel, made up of some of the best clinicians in the country, including Harley Street audiologist Rony Ganguly and Professor Quentin Summerfield from the University of York.

The journey towards becoming a ‘Consultant Approved Site’ started off with a simple self assessment form, whereby audiologists at Clarity Hearing Solutions analysed themselves to see where they measured against the best practice ideals identified by the programme. They were then audited by independent experts, each with their own fields of expertise.

Hearing Aid Audiologist Simon Cowell said: “We are extremely proud to have achieved ‘Consultant

Approved’ accreditation from Phonak as part of the new scheme. It is a great way for us to illustrate to customers the level of experience and loyalty that we can offer here at Clarity Hearing Solutions, while also allowing us to ensure we are delivering consistently high standards that exceed industry standards.”

Phonak Managing Director, Stuart Neilson said: “Phonak has been a pioneer of hearing instrument development for more than 60 years. We are proud of our longstanding relationship with Clarity Hearing Solutions and the Consultant Approved Site programme is a way of promoting the outstanding quality service and expertise that they deliver every day. As market leader, we want to make it easier for members of the general public to find the best possible help and we’re confident the Consultant Approved Site will help people navigate the market.”

Wildlife Wonders on my Doorstep One of the joys of Wildlife Photography, particularly if working with “macro” or close-up equipment, is the never ending wealth of suitable subjects within easy reach of your own doorstep. When introduced as a Wildlife Photographer you can see that people’s mental picture is of you wrestling with a crocodile or swinging an elephant round by its trunk. Scarce a thought is given to the myriad smaller life forms that surround us in whatever our chosen walk of life and which serve to make up that inter-connecting living web that we call “Wildlife”.

After many years of working with Nature in this way I am delighted to be able to share some of the wonderful images I have accumulated with a double-bill of Wildlife Wonders at the Barrington Theatre in Ferndown on the 15th March.

The afternoon presentation is devoted to “Wildlife Wonders of the British Isles” and depicts a wealth of species from the length and breadth of Gt Britain and the evening show covers a small section of the British Isles but as its title of “Wildlife Wonders Home and Away” implies there is also some dramatic coverage of other parts of the world with Zimbabwe and the Falkland Islands especially featured together with many images from the mountain tops of Mainland Europe.

Prices have been kept deliberately low so that as many as possible can have the chance of sharing these images with me.

For those wishing to join, the Wildlife Trusts and RSPB membership teams should be in attendance.

Adventures of Nellie

38

The Adventures of Nellie The Dorset Publications Camper Van We had a real treat this month when Nellie, the rather large Dorset Publications campervan, took us to see the amazing planes on display at The Solent Sky Aviation Museum in Southampton.

A very good neighbour of ours arrived on our doorstep one Saturday morning after reading about Nellie’s adventures at Compton Abbas. In that article I had said that Hayden, our ten year old son, keeps telling us he wants to be a pilot.

Martin, our neighbour, had won tickets to the Solent Sky Museum in a local raffle and very kindly offered us the tickets to take Hayden for a day out. Well Martin, I can tell you that I have never seen Hayden quite this excited! It is possible to actually sit in the cockpit of some of the planes and you can see the sheer delight in Hayden’s glinting eyes, as he holds the controls! He was literally in his element.

I wonder what he will be like after his real trip behind the controls and his first flying lesson? (Funnily enough that hasn’t been arranged yet. We don’t fancy being blown over to France in pouring rain!)

I loved the morning at the museum and

Hayden strapped into the Harrier cockpit

WW1 Tiger Moth on display particularly enjoyed sitting in the Flying Boat cockpit with Hayden as well as watching the footage of the S6a which won the Schneider Trophy - Fascinating!

I have to admit that I am no expert at all when it come to planes, so Chris Smith, the Supervisor from the Solent Sky Museum has provided us with some information which I thought you may find interesting.

It gives you an impression of just how important the south of Britain was to the aircraft industry – and how that heritage is quickly being lost and forgotten…

Here’s Chris: “The Solent region (which we define as roughly a diamond shape with corners at Bournemouth, Eastleigh, Portsmouth and Isle of Wight) was the centre of the world for aircraft development between about 1910 and 1960.

“There were 26 aeroplane companies locally, and they built everything from Spitfires to jet fighters, space rockets, hovercraft and helicopters. Solent Sky Museum has roughly 20 airframes representing these companies, including our recently completed Schneider Trophy exhibition, including the Supermarine

Sat in the cockpit of “Beachcomber” S6a which broke the world closed-circuit air speed record in 1929, at 325 mph.

The Spitfire was designed and built just down the road from the museum. 22,000 were built during WWII, 8,000 of those in Southampton – even after the factory was bombed, production moved to carpenters’ workshops and bicycle shops. In the museum we have a Mk24 Spitfire – one of the very last to be built, and the fastest and most powerful of them all.

“The Sandringham flying boat represents the Empire Airways flying boats which flew from Southampton to the British Empire. Southampton was the world’s largest flying boat port, and the very word “airport” comes from here. Built as a Sunderland bomber in 1943, our flying boat, ‘Beachcomber’, was modified to carry Chariot submarines and was later

converted to a passenger aircraft. She flew the world’s last scheduled flying boat service in 1974, making her the last of the great flying boats.

“We have two jet fighter cockpits – a Harrier jump jet and Supermarine Swift. Visitors are encouraged to strap themselves in, and then flick all the switches and pull all the levers while making jet-fighter soundeffects, thus fulfilling our EU requirement to have ‘interactive’ exhibits. Our jet fighter collection includes the world’s only jet-fighter-flying-boat, the Saunders-Roe SRA/1.”

The museum is jam packed with exhibits If you want more information about the Solent Sky Museum please do visit their website, which can be found at www.solentskymuseum.org. I believe they are in need of some sponsorship too, so if you have a passion for planes and want to help, please let them know!

Of course we had our customary cuppa in Nellie by the sea at Town Quay watching the very active port in action. We were lucky this time with the weather, having blue skies and a warm day. Did you recognise where the photo on page 8 was taken?

Where will Nellie go next? See in next month’s issue of The West Moors Directory!

A Staggeringly Good I-Deer!

Do you have a dog chew that will satisfy your dog’s need to munch? You may have just found the answer!

Demand for deer antler dog chews is exploding across the UK. Retailers and chain stores are finding everyone is talking about them. With 8 million dogs in the UK a recent report says that dog owners love to treat their pets to safe, environmentally friendly pet products.

This is where John Palmer-Snellin’s new family run business, Staglers (Stag + Antlers!), are proving to be a local success story for Dorset. John recognised an idea as a potential business that fitted so comfortably with his interests, skill and his network of rural and countryside contacts. With his first-hand knowledge of deer, Staglers was born.

John explained: “I source top quality (magnificent A grade) red deer antlers.

Every one is unique and demands a different approach when it comes to cutting out specific size chews for particular breeds - exacting work!”

So what’s so great about them?

Every deer antler is unique! After allowing the wild male to impress and fight for his females, the antlers simply drop off every spring. Deer are the only mammals to regenerate hard bone structure, a complete new set within 8 months, year after year! This totally sustainable use of the fallen antler is keeping the deer alive and well to grow new ones each year, as well as finding a way to recycle a natural product.

Totally sustainable, although obviously seasonal!

Why do owners love Staglers?

Watching your dog’s passionate satisfaction ticks all the boxes – Chewing releases fee-good chemicals from the brain and keeps dogs happy, busy and occupied. They wear down slowly too, lasting longer than other dog chews Nutritious, natural and odourless to humans, Staglers are a pure quality, unprocessed, delight. Did you know they clean the dog’s teeth, rather than bung them up and they’re great for dogs with sensitive tummies. Even dogs on a diet can enjoy Staglers because they only contain a tiny amount of fat. Just when you may be getting curious they are also good for puppies teething, but supervision is always recommended.

With a great Facebook page and online website to purchase, here are some of John’s happy customers’ comments:

41 • Staglers dog story: My cross St Bernard / Rottie loves these chews.

She gets through the toughest of chews within minutes. These may seem expensive but they are value for money as they last for ages. My dog could smell it in the parcel and wouldn’t leave me alone. I could do with a whole antler but she might take the telly out or something when she is playing with it!

• The Staglers I bought at Bournemouth Show proved to be a BIG hit, so much so, I had to buy some more on-line!

(EXCELLENT service - they arrived less than 24 hours later!!!) Doing a lovely job of cleaning their teeth up - thanks. x • Our Border Terrier has just been given his first Stagler and LOVES it! We bought a half antler (lazy chew) although he has chomped his way through it so I will be getting an original one next. Great value compared to similar products and local to us in Wiltshire. Will be getting lots more and recommending to all and sundry!

• Hi, I live in Wareham. Well done on starting such an enterprising business!

• I only could afford to buy one big one and so pleased as my dogs share it, they ‘kill’ it then have a chew fall asleep then the other takes over.

TRADE: The Little Pet Biscuit Company • Sold loads of Staglers at our fi rst event with them today and several ordered through our website...a great start *very happy face* • Someone came along and rummaged around in our box of Staglers for about 10 minutes. Eventually he found one he liked and bought it. I put it in a bag for him and asked: ‘what’s the name of the lucky dog?’ to which he replied: ‘It’s not for the dog...it’s a new handle for my walking stick’!!!!! Go figure! Versatile Staglers!

The husband and wife team have found the demand for their deer antler dog chews quite astonishing. Trade accounts are opening up around the country and they flew off Pets Corner’s shelves. Staglers are now available throughout the Country but as nature intended, antlers may be in short supply around March & April as we await new “stock” to drop off.

The brand is yet another success story from Dorset achieved with the help and support of their friends!

Photography Competition!

Are you an amateur photographer?

Do you have photos of scenery in West Moors, Ferndown, Poole, Bournemouth, Christchurch, Purbeck or even the New Forest?

Would you like to see your photo on a front cover, in print on thousands of magazines as well as have your own photo with a small article about you inside the magazine?

Well, then this competition is for you!

If you would like to enter please email, in a high resolution, your photos to photos@dorsetpublications.co.uk. I have already had some remarkable photos given to me, so go on give it a go. Every month there will be a different photo featured and we look forward to featuring your photo!

Don’t bin it - create with it!

My name is Barbara Becker; I love the coast, nature and snippets of scenes. I enjoy capturing the essence of what I see.

Making use of recyclable materials such as cardboard, tissue from shoe boxes and newspaper to build layers and texture, I then paint using Acrylics. I’d say my work is ‘eco friendly’!

Sometimes my inspiration comes from good composition I’ve seen in a postcard or photo. My paintings can be viewed and bought from Bistro on the Beach at Southbourne or contact me by email on: creativity128@yahoo.com I look forward to hearing from you...

Church members peak with charity donation Members of the Church of Scientology in Poole presented Lewis-Manning Hospice with a cheque following last year’s Welsh 3 Peaks challenge, which saw the group raise money for the charity by climbing to the summit of Wales’ highest 3 peaks in as many days.

wife had need of their help a few years ago. She had cancer and came to the hospice for some treatment briefly. That was in 2009. She did lose her battle, sadly, and passed away in 2010. So, from a personal point of view at least, supporting your work is something I am very willing to do.”

The very physical challenge saw the team complete all the routes and collectively raised over £1200 for the hospice, which supports over 650 local people living with cancer and other lifelimiting illnesses.

Martin adds, “Lewis Manning Hospice, through their work, are clearly an asset to us and often we need them for some harrowing times in life.

I can’t imagine a tougher job to do every day.”

The Poole branch undertake a challenge at least once a year for a local charity and this year picked Lewis-Manning for quite personal reasons.

Martin Budden, one of the group, explains, “We picked Lewis-Manning as they are known for what they do, and it is something that takes quite some courage. From my own point of view, my

Sara Johnson, Community Fundraiser at LewisManning, said, “We are so thankful to have been supported from this tremendous effort by Martin and Megan and the group. It is humbling when members of community push themselves to take on such physically demanding challenges to help support our patients and their families during very distressing times.”

Wildlife enthusiast reveals secrets of creating stunning photography Award-winning photographer Tony Moss revealed an impressive knowledge of local wildlife at Moors Valley Country Park, near Ringwood on 24th January. Speaking at a special preview of the British Wildlife Photography Awards exhibition,Tony, whose photograph of a Bearded Reedling was Highly Commended in the competition, took a packed audience on a journey to some of his favourite locations as he explained how he works with the natural rhythms of each animal to capture his stunning imagery.

His Highly Commended shot was taken at Weymouth’s Radipole Lake.

“I like to set myself a project,” said Tony. “I heard the birds during a summer visit to the Park and their stunning call really stuck in my mind. It has a ringing, zinging quality that once heard is never forgotten.

However with 80 hectares of reed bed I knew it wouldn’t be easy to get the photograph I really wanted.

I also knew it would have to be a winter shot as the birds feed on ground insects in the summer and are rarely seen. It took me several visits to the Park, in some pretty cold weather to secure this shot so I was really delighted it was Highly Commended in the competition.”

Tony’s advice to would be wildlife photographers included pointing out that there was an awful lot of luck in photography, “But the more time you put in the luckier you get!”

Around 90 stunning images of British wildlife form the British Wildlife Photographer Awards exhibition and can be seen at Moors Valley Country Park until 8th March. The exhibition opens daily and admission is free, but parking charges will apply.

For more information go online to www.moors-valley.co.uk or call 01425 470721.
