We are pleased to announce the winners of this year’s annual photography competition.
WINNER FAUNA & OVERALL WINNER OF THE ABIGAIL RHODES TROPHY
Stonechat Female on Bracken – Stephen Kirkup.
Our judge commented “The reason it won is that I especially loved it appearing out of its habitat and not many folk focus on the female”.
WINNER FLORA
Foxglove (Digitalis purpurea) – John Wright
Judge’s special commendations also go to….
Arctic Skua….Getchya! – David Williams
Come Into My Parlour – Pete Binder
Large Red Damselfly on Whin – Stephen Kirkup
Covid Haircut – Alice Marriott
Red Admiral on Sedum – Susan Kirkup

Again, our judge commented that he could easily have given many more commendations – there were just too many to mention.
YOUNG PHOTOGRAPHER SPECIAL AWARD
Snowflakes – Connie Gordon
Congratulations to our winners and a huge thank you to everyone who supported the competition this year. Your entries were all of a very high standard which made the job of deciding the winners extremely difficult.
A very special thank you therefore goes to our guest judge, Senior Countryside Ranger for North Highlands Andy Summers.
