WILDLIFE photographer Brian Matthews admits what is one of his greatest shots will never cut it as a Christmas card.

Brian, 30, who grew up in Chester-le-Street in County Durham, spent a month in the massive Pantanal wetlands of Brazil.

He was working his way along the Cuiaba River, looking for jaguars, when he spotted vultures circling.

Brian found the object of their interest - a dead caiman, which is a member of the crocodile family.

"I lay down and waited. The caiman has a tough hide and I knew the only way the vultures would be able to get into the carcass was through soft areas like the eyes," said Brian.
