If you think you can tell a wildlife travel story in a thoughtful, entertaining way, enter our competition and you could win the safari of a lifetime.
Our call for entries to our Nature Writer of the Year 2011 Competition back in March attracted scores of entries, celebrating an array of birds, animals and magical, memorable wild places. Read the top tales here – and see whether you agree with the choices.
We received more than 200 entries this year, and it was a tough choice between the final trio: Carol Donaldson’s encounter in the Australian outback; Malcolm Whitehead’s look at the life of a house mouse in the London Underground; and Helen Whittle’s journey into the Namib Desert.
Country diarist Paul Evans reveals what makes good nature writing stand out and offers some expert advice on how to get started.
