This exhibition is owned by the Natural History Museum and the BBC Wildlife Magazine – its website is www.nhm.ac.uk/wildphoto.

Your roving reporter went to see it on Monday at the Natural History Museum, South Kensington, London.    I  thoroughly recommend it.   There is an entry fee of £9 which is expensive.   However the rest of the museum is so crowded and noisy that if it was open to all they would need to do some kind of staggered queue so that one could see the pictures easily.

The photographs are amazing – particularly those of the younger generation.   The method of showing them backlit makes a really great impact.   The reproductions on paper unfortunately cannot compete but do remind one of the real (which is real?) photo exhibit.    I bought a few postcards but my favourite photo of all – the winning black and white picture of starling flocks – had sold out.   It was really worth the trip to London to see it – hope you can go too.   It should also be coming to Bristol at some point – will keep you informed.
