    This month's highlights starts in the north with Pal Hermansen's imaginative Scandinavian imagery and Tony Wu's appealing flying squirrels. Then we head to Antarctica for a bold set of emperor penguin images from Stefan Christmann's new book. But there is also a summery feel with Lorraine Bennery's colourful portfolio on European orchids and some unusual insect coverage, including scientists studying the catastrophic decline in insect populations. And you will also find desert landscapes and burrowing owls from Jack Dykinga and Bryan Alexander's portraits from his Changing Face of the Arctic project.
