Congratulations to Alastair MacLeod for winning the WILDGuides WILDBrain competition for November 2003. Alastair correctly identified all four photographs as:

1) Cuvier's Beaked Whale
(Ziphius cavirostris)

2) California Sea Lion
(Zalophus californianus)

3) Fin Whale
(Balaenoptera physalus)

4) Short-finned Pilot Whale
(Globicephala macrorhynchus)

Alastair, from Dundee in Scotland, is a keen sailor who has seen whales and dolphins regularly on his travels through the Atlantic and Mediterranean. After winning the prize of WILDGuides WILDBrain, Alastair told us "I was delighted to win the quiz - especially since I'd never seen any of those species in the wild! The guide book is excellent - a good read and great images. It will undoubtedly help me with my whale watching in Europe!"

Alastair has won a copy of 'Whales and Dolphins of the European Atlantic' which we hope will help him to increase his WILDBrain knowledge still further!
