Devon Wildlife Trust is making a final call for photographers of all ages and abilities to take part in this year's charity wildlife photographic competition.
Photos, which have to be taken at one of the charity's 40 nature reserves, need to be taken before October 31.
In the past the competition has attracted a range of subjects and encouraged many more people to visit DWT's wildlife sites.
The winning photographs, together with the names of the photographers, will be published in the charity's magazine Wild Devon which is sent out to over 30,000 members. Selected entries will be exhibited around the county in 2009.

Last year's under 16 winner was an image of foxgloves by 5 year old Matthew Kean from Plymouth.
