Welcome!
The dedicated and intrepid photographer, Sue Flood, who has spent many years cataloguing the lives of emperor penguins in Antarctica, worked as a camerawoman in the BBC’s Natural History Unit for 11 years, notably on the first landmark series of Blue Planet and Planet Earth. Latterly, she has been concentrating on still photography, to stunning effect as you can see on p72. She spends six weeks at a time in a small tent on the ice, patiently waiting for her fish-loving models to get into frame. It pays off in lovely images, but I can’t envy the polar lifestyle!
Looking forward to next April, we’ve got an exciting partnership with the Grant Arms Wildlife Book Festival in the Scottish Highlands. Many of the expert naturalists who contribute to our magazine will be talking about their recent books, taking part in wildlife walks and answering guests’ questions over five days. If you would care to join us for the festival, we have a special reader offer. You can read about that and the festival on p32.
