CALLING ALL BUDDING WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHERS
An amazing opportunity has arisen to produce a wildlife calendar for Wild Things Rescue, year commencing 1 January 2027. The calendar and a notebook, will both showcase images of 12 British native wildlife and we are inviting you to help us.
Initially, we need good quality images and we would love you for to provide them.
Secondly, those images that meet the basic entry requirements (please see below) will be put up on Wild Things Rescue Facebook Homepage for the public vote. The 12 images with the highest vote count will be used in the calendar and on the front of the notebook.
For the images to look crisp and professional for printing, your images need to be:
Landscape/horizontal.
At least 3500x2500 pixels. The calendar will be A4 size and consequently images will need to be enlarged, meaning it will need to be 300 DPI (dots per inch). Low resolution or web sourced images (72pixels) will be blurry or jagged when size is increased.
Save the file in JPEG format. File size should fall between 2MB and 50MB.
Try to keep your subject at least 3mm from the edges, your picture may need trimming.
Must be a wild animal/bird naturally found in the British countryside and also represent an animal that might be admitted to Wild Things Rescue. When taking pictures please ensure it is safe for both you and the bird or animal involved. In the UK taking photos of wildlife is legal, provided you do not intentionally disturb protected animals or damage their habitats. Avoid approaching too closely especially near nests or breeding sites. Images of of animals or birds handled or removed from their environment will not be used.
Please note, there is no age limit and images may be either colour or black and white, as long as the animal/bird is clearly seen.
Final submission for images must be by email to Lucy at [email protected] by the 15 July 2026.
Best of luck to everyone
