| | | Simon King OBE!
I've just seen the BBC News website and was chuffed to see Simon King has been awarded an OBE for services to photography and conservation.
I know not everyone agrees with the honours system these days but I'm pleased to see Simon being recognised for his efforts over many years.

Good news in deed, it's nice to see some getting such a high honour for services to wildlife and conservation.
In case any one was wondering I seem to have been missed of the list again

How does someone earn something by being paid extremely well for doing something that they love?
