We are pleased to announce the winners of our 2012 Photography Competition. All entries were taken on the reserve and voted for by visitors to the reserve throughout August. Many thanks to all the participants; we were really impressed with the quality of this year’s entries, so well done everyone!
We have also decided to award the Photographer of the year title to Ivor Wilson. It was a tough decision but Ivor’s entries were of consistently high standard and well liked by members of the public too. So congrats to him!
