Good to see in the New Years Honours list that Simon has got an OBE.

That makes him and Bill Oddie both having them now.

Penny Clarke will be happy

Sounds good. He has done an awful lot for wildlife, and is a worthy ambassador.

Well done simon!

As a member of the gumpy old mans club, for once I can only say that is a good decision! Simon's a good front man for uk wildlife and film making. Anna (mooskibaby) from Derbyshire (the next Kate Humble!) is a big fan and will be very pleased! Might be good for the sales of Zeiss fl 8x32's.

WELL DONE SIMON!!!:cat::cat:

I'm not exactly Simon King's greatest admirer, but I suppose he deserves it as much as most of the recipients of these baubles.

Good to see someone involved in wildlife getting an award rather than just sport people and vacuous celebs. I'm not a 'huge' fan of watching Simon King presenting (nothing against him, his style is just not 'quite' my cup of tea) but he really does know his stuff and is an excellent cameraman. :t:

Another person from the conservation world has been recognised this year. Graham Wynne has been awarded a Knighthood. Has been the RSPB's Cheif exec for 11 years i think and from what i can see has done a good job.

Also congrates to Simon aswell, well deserved!!!

Echo previous sentiments. I saw Graham Wynne's award (well deserved) but somehow missed Simon's. Jolly good show - and as a cameraman/presenter, a man for whom the alternative version (Other B*****s Efforts) totally and obviously incorrect!
