Photo Competition Results

 Here are the results of the competition organised by Bill Urwin last year. Bill asked local wildlife photographer Graham Hall to select a first, second and third photo in each of the four categories plus an overall winner. You can see Graham’s expert work on Flickr. As a last minute addition, we put the entries up on the website for members to choose their overall favourite.

Congratulations to all the winning photographers and many thanks to Bill and Graham and, of course, to everyone who took part.

The overall winner was submitted by Georgina Shuckburgh in the First Flowering category. She will be receiving this exciting prize.
