His image of Washington’s record-breaking avocets fought off competition from WWT’s eight other UK wetland centres to be named number one in its category by the judges.
In July 2006 a pair of avocets – which traditionally nest in southern England – hatched two chicks at WWT Washington Wetland Centre, the most northerly ever recorded in the UK. They have since bred and successfully reared young in both 2007 and 2008.Anthony, 34, only took up photography two years ago, after seeing fellow wildlife enthusiasts with cameras in tow.

“I’ve always loved birds and have been a keen birdwatcher for years, so it was the next step to start taking pictures of them.”
