All creatures great and small: Heart-warming collection of snaps showcases Britain's wildlife at its best from a jackdaw whispering in a deer's ear to a piglet sheltering from the rain under an umbrella By Daily Mail Reporter | These stunning pictures depict the best of Britain's wondrous wildlife - from a wide-eyed piglet hiding under an umbrella to escape the rain to a hedgehog in a pile of autumn leaves making preparations for the winter. A striking photograph of a fluffy yellow ducking nuzzling up to a baby goat is sure to melt even the hardest of hearts melt while the sight of thousands of starlings soaring over Somerset is simply breathtaking. The images have all been taken by photographer Richard Austin and feature in his 2013 calendar Animal Magic. Richard has been snapping animals professionally for more than a quarter of century and his photographs have appeared on the front pages of every UK national newspaper. His love of animals and wildlife photography has received international recognition having previously been published in calendars in the USA and Canada. His photographs of animals resulted in his own six part TV series called 'Richard Austin's Animal Magic' which went on to win the Royal Television Society's Regional family entertainment programme of the year in 2007. He has also published five books under the titles of 'Richard Austin's Animal Magic.'  This beautiful image captures the moment a piglet sensibly takes shelter under a brightly-coloured umbrella to escape a downpour
