2008 was a fantastic year for us… we visited some amazing places and were lucky enough to photograph a number of beautiful and elusive creatures in their natural habitats. Some of the most unforgettable moments of 2008 include following Meerkats through the Kalahari Desert, spotting Jaguars in the wetlands of Brazil and wading through swamps at night to photograph Caimans. This year we were also successful in a number of competitions including Nature’s Best Photography Awards, European Wildlife Photographer of the Year, Garden Photographer of the Year and the RSPCA Youth Photographer Awards. The task of selecting our 10 favourite shots of 2008 has not been easy!
