CAPTURE the countryside on camera, captivate the judges, and your photograph of rural Britain could win you a silver butterfly. And if you impress BBC1's CountryFile viewers, you could win a trip to the Seychelles.

I will be providing regular information about the sixth CountryFile/Radio Times Photographic Competition in my Sunday programmes on BBC1 - so watch out for the details.

The competition is open to all, split into two age groups. I am particularly keen to welcome the work of younger viewers. So send your pictures to me at CountryFile before September 14.
