Another near miss for the Travel Writer of the Year
Just had a look at the BBC Wildlife Magazine Travel Writer of the Year results - and I've been commended... again.
One day - just one day, I'm going to win this competition! :)

Congrats anyway - and all best for next year. You'll do it!
avian horror bit, to make the connection with Alfred Hichcocks film
must have been a sight indeed.
Well done and hope you are successful next year.
Sorry you didn't win, but being commended is an excellent achievement in itself.
I'm chuffed to bits, but a wee bit disappointed to have got so close for the third time!

Um - I think you're referring to someone else's story, Francis (I'm the one from Fiji). :)
This competition is mentioned in July's Writers' News, page 10. Closing date 10th June. I wondered if it might be of interest.

We are looking for the best nautical images which celebrate Britains costal [sic] landscape and our relationship with the sea
Dont forget their terms and conditions.
I have just re read.
What a task picking a winner from such wonderful writings.
All the best with your next endeavours.
Take care.
Well done, be proud!
I'm off tomorrow - hopefully will have plenty of internet opportunities in Morocco (as well as lots of interesting experiences and plenty of photo ops).
Will stay in touch whenever possible.
Meantime - happy and productive writing everyone!
"Have you seen your article on our website?
I laughed out loud when I was uploading it.
We very much appreciate you taking the time to write and hope you will enter our travel writing competition again next year."
Chuffed when I read that!
