Image of the Day



A Christchurch photographer's image of a yellow-eyed penguin has made the finals of a big nature photography competition.

Andy Trowbridge, of Halswell, is among 89 finalists in the competition, covering Australia, New Zealand, Antarctica and New Guinea, run by the South Australian Museum.

A record 1540 entries were received.

Trowbridge said he crept up on the penguin at Katiki Point, near Oamaru, to get the shot.

"By moving very slowly and crawling, I was able to get very close as it tried to find a way through the barbed-wire fence," he said.

The winners of the competition will be announced on October 1.
