I am absolutely thrilled to have won the Scottish Wildlife Portrait
category in the

bearded seal visited in autumn 2019. I've entered lots
of competitions over the years, won a few minor ones and been commended
in some major competitions but this is the first time I've won a

especially the overall Scottish Nature Photographer of the Year 2020,
