NATURE lovers can go wild today at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History.
The Wild Fair will give people the chance to snap a selfie with a basking shark, handle live crocodiles, find out why bees waggle their bottoms and ask expert scientists questions.
On display at the event, run in partnership with the Berks, Bucks and Oxon Wildlife Trust, will be the best pictures taken in nature reserves from this year’s Wildlife Trust Photography Competition.
Among them is this delightful image of Georgia Tuffery, who turned two yesterday, taken by mother Elaine in a bird hide at Chimney Meadows nature reserve.
It came first in the My Wild Life category of the competition, which was judged by a panel including professional photographers.
Mum-of-two Miss Tuffery said: “She’s at that age where everything’s a novelty.
“We went into the bird hide and she went running up to the window. There was a herd of cows outside. She could hear them mooing and she was totally enchanted.”
