Open Space: Seagull on the seafront by Jude Wilkinson, Hawick
Jude Wilkinson, a keen photographer from Hawick was out walking her dog Jasper on the seafront at Spittal Prom, near Berwick upon Tweed, when she spotted this seagull. It seemed to be standing on guard duty at a sign for the Lowry Trail, and nothing could persuade it to move. "He stayed exactly where he was on watch," says Mallin, "even though Jasper was barking away at him."

Open space: Good morning by Alan Arnott, Dysart
A SEAL demonstrates great muscle control in this shot, taken on the Fife Coastal Path outside Kirkcaldy. Alan Arnott arrived early to catch the sunrise and found around 20 seals bathing from the rocks, one of which appeared to be posing for him. "The sunlight is catching the seal's stomach and the lighthouse on Inchkeith Island, while in the distance the street lights of Edinburgh are still on," he says.

Open Space: Geese at Aberlady Bay by Richard Wells, Gullane
This photograph of pink-footed geese, set against a capital backdrop, was taken at Aberlady Bay nature reserve by Richard Wells. It captures a natural highlight of the year, the visit of 30,000 migrating geese, which scatter to feed on surrounding fields and return en masse in the evening. "My aim was to show how nature and the city co-exist within a few wing beats," he says.
