December photography competition results

December photography competition results

Dave Kinder 

To end 2021, we asked our photography competition participants to enter their best ‘Christmas Card Wildlife’ shots.

From robins perched high up in frost covered trees to roe deer frolicking upon snowcapped hills, last month's competition entries perfectly encapsulated our festive theme.

After much consideration, Dave Kinder was selected as the winner of December’s competition.

Robin perched upon a snow covered gate post

Dave Kinder 

Our judge loved this photograph because of its "characterful and charming quality". It captures one of the festive seasons favourite characters, with our judge commenting:

"The depiction of this robin perched upon a snow-covered fence post highlights this much-loved bird’s vibrant colour and feisty character."

Roe deer frolicking upon snow covered hills

Craig Smith 

In second place is Craig Smith. Our judge stated that:

"This wonderful winter scene captures the joyful spirit of Christmas and the delightful wildlife that thrives even amidst the cold. This photograph of two roe deer frolicking upon the snow-covered hills of Tockholes is both charming and endearing."

Blue tits and a coal tit perched on a snow covered branch

Christine Kearns

Finally in third place is Christine Kearnes. Our judge proclaimed that:

"The bright colour of the blue tits and coal tit, offset against the snow-covered landscape makes this image jump off the screen. The detail in this photo makes it look like a perfectly composed Christmas card scene."
