It's fun to share!
Without trying to blow my own trumpet, if you take photo's of your wildlife days out, it's brilliant to know that some of them are useful to wildlife groups and educational bodies.
I keep a lot of mine on flickr as 'free for use' for wildlife groups and educational bodies, and it's surprising just how many requests you get,from all over the world, for some of your photo's to be published,either in organisations magazines and newsletters, schools and colleges around the globe and even scientists for publishing in some of their scientific papers.
It's not always the photo's that you expect either, so absolutely anything is worth sharing in this way.
A few examples of my photo's that have been published are:
Female Marsh Harrier - now on the visitor centre notice board of two Bird reserves.
Male Marsh Harrier - Information/entrance board at two wildlife trust reserves.
Conehead Cricket - Wildlife trust quarterly magazine (if you are a member of that trust, and get the magazine, look in the September 2010 issue, the Nature's Calendar feature, and you may spot it! :-O)
European Amber Snail - New Scientific publication about European Gastropod's, published in three languages.
Marsh Harrier and Dragonfly video's - used by students at an inner city comprehensive to make a 'virtual tour' of one of their local reserves.
Marsh Harrier Mayfly Catching - Information, and video stills used by two Raptor Ecology Groups, Scotland and the Netherlands in their Bird of Prey 'reports and yearbooks'.
Red Kite photo's and information - to be published in the revised/upadated Red Kite Monograph.
It certainly gives you the 'feel good factor' when you know that you are helping promote learning and awareness with regard to our fantastic wildlife. Especially within the younger generation,our future!
I recommend anybody to share their stuff, you never know what is useful and needed by these organisations. More so due to their,often,very limited, budgets.
