Image: “Red Reflects” – Squirrel Among Heather

Jamie was awarded Runner-Up in the 2025 Crikey! Photography Competition in the Natural World Adult Category for her image “Red Reflects.” The Crikey! Photography Competition celebrates exceptional wildlife photography across a range of categories, highlighting both artistic vision and the observation of natural behaviour.

“Red Reflects” captures a moment of quiet intensity: a red squirrel perched beside flowering heather, its fur illuminated by soft natural light. The composition highlights the vibrant tones of the squirrel against the muted purples of the heather, creating a striking contrast that draws the viewer’s attention to the animal’s alert posture and delicate details.
