Last year I entered a Wildlife Blogger competition and a lot of you lovely people voted for me, for which I am really grateful. Unfortunately I didn't win but my blog was selected to appear in the resulting book which is really exciting!! The book is now available as a PDF download at the special price of £4.99 till the end of March. It contains 70 blogs from around the world with stories about poo right through the spectrum to our local kingfishers! So if anyone's interested

They weren’t hard to find as there were a few photographers already in place when I arrived,
