The results of May’s photography competition are in and the entries we have received are incredible!

May is the perfect time of year to spot all the incredible wildflowers across our reserves in full bloom. From orchids growing wild in fields, to bluebells coating the floors of woodlands across the region in a blanket of blue, and many more, these beautiful blooms are truly a sight to be seen.

This month we have received some truly wonderful entries under the theme of ‘Spring Blooms’. As always, we have received some fantastic entries that made it hard for our judges to choose however, there can be only one winner.

After much deliberation the winner of May’s photography competition is… Min Yang!
