I thought it wasn't going to happen this month. The bottom has dropped out of my CTR, but now theses 2 have saved my month. Badger for a UK national newspaper. Below my average $xx but it will buy me a couple of pints at my favourite watering hole, when I'm allowed to go again. Beaver (its second outing) for an editorial website. This buys me 1 pint. Still chuffed with the sales though. Badger, Scotland. (2D6K7MN) Beaver, Scotland. (RJF38F)

I used to have a whale of a time at this spot. When conditions were right large numbers of salmon and sea trout would leap trying to get over the weir. Some would get washed out of the flow and end up flapping around my chair. All good things come to an end though. They put some turbines in, and at the same time built a mesh enclosed salmon ladder. Now all the fish take the easy route up the ladder. 2 sales of same image, exact same details except different dates. Country: UK. Usage: Editorial. Media: Newspaper - national.

Enter stage right, probably the most famous polar bear in the world.

Thanks a lot Phil. It was good to be able to watch how the family behaved, as well as get some good images.

Thanks Kumar. I hope you're right I would like one of those! Roy

Thanks Paulette. There were 3 nestlings, a fledgeling and an adult. It was really nice just to be able to watch them all interacting. Roy

I always enjoy your polar bears. Great memories you have. It's depressing to think in perhaps 3 generations time we may only have photos or film of them in the wild. I find documentaries about their plight a hard watch. Roy
