FEATURE - SN_HORSE_HEAD_NUTS_09
A squirrel tries out an unusual new piece of headwear - a horse's head. Photographer Rick Derevan hid sunflower seeds and suet in the prop and the squirrel quickly came to investigate.
The 75 year old took the pictures as he watched the squirrel in his garden in Atascadero, California. SEE OUR COPY FOR DETAILS.

FEATURE - SN_PITCH_IN ROCKS_07
JUST DON'T SKY IT! Aerial views show a spectacular football field built on several coastal island outcrops. The Henningsvær Stadium sits, contrasting its jagged rocky foundations off the coast of Norway.
Olivier Jarry-Lacombe said, “This football field is quite incredible. The first time I came, I immediately imagined this picture. This field was built for the children of the archipelago. Few infrastructures are available, so it was decided an artificial field would be built on this rock to allow children to indulge in their favourite sport.”
“I love this striking view that this end of the world offers. A beautiful but hostile nature, an ingenuity of man to live in these fantastic and almost inaccessible places. Northern Norway is an incredible place for nature lovers and wide open spaces.”

(FOTO: DUKAS/SOLENT NEWS) *** Local Caption *** 1. When were these pictures taken?
These pictures were taken over the last 5 years. I spend about 2 and a half months a year in Lapland, between Sweden, Norway and Finland. I have returned to the archipelago several times to take these pictures, in different seasons (summer, spring).
2. What was it like to see this field in person?
This football field is quite incredible. The first time I came, I immediately imagined this picture. I went up near the old lighthouse but I was not high enough. I then climbed the mountains that melt in front of the archipelago but I had almost no view of the field. So I decided to come back the following year with a drone!
3. Is there a team that comes here regularly or is it just for training/fun?
This field was built for the children of the archipelago. Indeed, few infrastructures are available and about fifteen years ago, it was decided to build an artificial field on this rock at the end of the world to allow children (and enthusiasts) to indulg

SHOOTING UP ON HERON… A bird holds a syringe between its beak, looking as if ready to harpoon some fish from the river bank. The heron was seen with the litter in the Bolsa Chica ecological reserve in California, USA.
Photographer Boris Droutman said, “The ecological reserve is across the road from the Bolsa Chica beach. I believe the heron found the remains of people’s drug activity at this very nice spot by the water. It seemed curious about the object and was perhaps considering using it as a prop for fishing like it would a stick. Sometimes herons will drop small sticks in the water hoping that it attracts fish.”
“I had mixed feeling when witnessing this moment. On one hand the possibility for funny shots popped into my head but I was mostly sad to see that such an awesome place is littered with used syringes that birds have to deal with. The reserve regularly organises volunteers to help the clean up efforts. I hope the photos can remind people of the consequences of their bad choices impacting themselves and wildlife.”

NO CHEAT-ING! A pair of cheaters develop their hunting skills as they get their claws out to battle their sibling. The pair of play fighting siblings were spotted in the dry grass of the Samburu National Reserve in Kenya.
Amature photographer Elizabeth Shen said, "Their mum was resting while the cubs were playing. Learning to hunt is a critical survival skill that the cubs will develop before they can hunt with their mother. The cub on the left had one paw on its sibling’s back and another right in front of the face. “Got you!” That was the highlight of the day! After that last shot, another round of play fighting started. The cubs were about 7 months old at the time and were energetic and playful."

NO CHEAT-ING! A pair of cheaters develop their hunting skills as they get their claws out to battle their sibling. The pair of play fighting siblings were spotted in the dry grass of the Samburu National Reserve in Kenya.

Greenhouses for the cultivation of fruit and vegetables stretch out to a mountain range as they dominate the landscape in southern Spain. The drone photos showing 33,000 hectares of growing facilities were taken in Almeria, Andalusia, Spain.
Photographer Olivier Jarry-Lacombe said, “Fruit and vegetables here are produced to supply Europe. The crops are very problematic from an environmental point of view due to things like soil destruction, land depletion, pollution and disappearance of groundwater.”
“The former desert has become the industrial and standardised vegetable garden of Europe in just a few decades. It is the most important centre of vegetable production in Europe.”
“It is a completely crazy view and crops stretch as far as the eye can see, over 33,000 hectares.”

Hi Olivier,
Thank you for this. We will get a caption written up and the pictures sent out soon. Sorry - just one more question - do you know the temperature when these shots were taken? It looks very bright and hot so thought that may be an extra line.
All the best,

Hi,
This is a region in the south of Spain, in Andalusia.
Here, greenhouse fruit and vegetable crops stretch as far as the eye can see over hundreds of square kilometers (33,000 hectares).
These fruits and vegetables are produced to flood Europe. These crops are very problematic and worrying from an environmental point of view: soil destruction, la
