OK, you were right to guess that this had to be a sample of what's to come - we're afraid you'll have to be patient for a while until the first photographers are out on their assignments.

In the meantime, we thought you might enjoy a little teaser from Staffan, Pete and Florian's archives - just to give you an idea of the style and quality of the images that our photographers will bring back with them.

Make sure you stay tuned until May 2008. Because from then on, exciting new pictures will be uploaded, almost daily. Start today and enjoy the best pictures of Wild Wonders of Europe online!
