I love to travel, mainly to Africa where I was born, I enjoy reading and playing bridge. I go for rambles in the countryside. I collect stamps and go to T'ai Chi classes. I love my two cats and my garden birds. I adore the African wildlife and try to help Conservation groups.
Peregrine swoops to photo prize.
By Jonathan Amos - BBC News science reporter.
The peregrine moves in to attack.
A swirling image of a peregrine falcon sweeping into a flock of starlings has won Manuel Presti this year's Wildlife Photographer of the Year award.
The Italian caught the action scene, titled Sky Chase, high above a city park in Rome. "Sky chase is a powerful image and, like it or not, it's one that you will never forget," said Mark Carwardine, one of this year's judges.
The competition has become one of the most prestigious in world photography. It is organised by BBC Wildlife Magazine and London's Natural History Museum. This year brought 17,000 entries from over 55 countries.
Yesterday Ronnie Barker died and the world is a sadder place for that.
He was brilliant in all that he did, and has left the world with so much
to remember. His legacy is all the laughter he has given us, with
programmes like "The Two Ronnies", "Open All Hours" and "Poridge".
He will be remembered by so many with great affection and thanks.
