  • Hidden in a wooden hut, a group of bird-spotting ornithologists peer through binoculars at the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) rreserve at Rainham Marshes, Essex England. Watching dozens of wintering birds, the group are intensely looking through their optical equipment in anticipation of seeing rare breeds at this Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), a wetland alongside the River Thames, 20 miles from Central London. A narrow slit is open to keep them hidden from sight so leaning on elbows and with a guide sheet in front to identify particular species, they concentrate on their hobby. The RSPB has 200 nature reserves covering almost 130,000 hectares, home to 80% of Britain's rarest or most threatened bird species. Its role is to speak out for birds and wildlife, tackling the problems that threaten the environment.

  • London 5/7/12. Seen from a park in south London, locals watch with increasing disappointment across to an anti climactic laser show across London during the inauguration of the capital's newest addition to its skyline, the Qatari-financed skyscraper, the Shard, the tallest building in western Europe. The light show was supposed to be visible across the capital and Londoners gathered in high points to see the spectacle. Renzo Piano's Shard is a 310m (1,016ft) tapering steel structure in the heart of the London borough of Southwark.

  • A Maldivian crewman uses a mobile phone after a day's tuna fishing aboard a dhoni fishing boat in a remote area of Indian Ocean

  • Using binoculars to sight yellow fin tuna on the upper deck aboard a traditional dhoni fishing boat on the Indian Ocean, Maldives
    maldives244-14-11-2007.jpg
  • A fisherman from the Maldives sits making a call on his mobile cell phone on the bow of a dhoni boat which heads along on a calm Indian Ocean. After a hard day's fishing he gazes forward to open sea where an almost uninterrupted view of sea and horizon is seen beyond except for a small island is faintly in view. Even small remote atoll communites in the Maldives have strong phone signals and many also have good Wi-Fi connections. He and his crew have been catching Yellow Fin Tuna in the seas north of the capital Male in this Islamic Republic. Their catch is for export to the EU and in particular, the UK's supermarkets. There is no limit and no obvious destination, just infinity and the thought of tomorrow.
