Friday 28 October 2022 GDT announced the winners of the European Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2022 competition. I am extremely honoured that my image - When no one is watching - was recognised in this prestigious competition with a highly commended in the mammals category.
A little bit about the image - On a cold atmospheric spring night I was watching herons and otters at a local pond in Lincolnshire, England. I noticed in the corner of my eye a brown rat scurrying along the edge of the pond each time the herons and otters were out of sight. On one occasion it spotted a dead fish left by a heron, an easy meal for the night.
