The Britain & Ireland Stop Press Rarity Photos Page

Click here to Join The Rankings Leica Camera UK donates £5 to Birdlife International every time a different contributor adds a photo(s) of a new rare bird to the UK Stop Press Page (subject to a maximum of £200 per quarter).

Thanks to all the photographers who have contributed so far in 2001, Leica will have made donations in excess of £800 during 2001. Birdlife International have earmarked this money for their work to protect seabirds (mainly albatrosses and petrels) from being killed as a consequence of fishing with long-lines.
