Photo: Colin GosdenOtago Museum has gone to the birds as the institution handed out its annual photography awards on Saturday. Colin Gosden was named Photographer of the Year for a picture of a pipipi, or brown creeper, dangling from a pittosporum tree. Mr Gosden said being in the right place at the right time was the trick to snapping his prizewinning picture. He had been attempting to photograph a "very unco-operative" bellbird when the pipipi landed in front of him. Gretta Wallace was the winner of the adult botanical category and Jack Aubin won the youth botanical category.
