WE'VE got a selection of remarkable animal pictures to share this week.
Camera Club members have posted some fascinating pictures, from lovestruck birds and famished fish to a praying otter and animated stag beetle.
Wayne Baker snapped the latter and said: "I rescued it from the road and then took a moment to make him famous.
"He seemed quite happy about it."
