Yes, I know it’s rotten awful late but I have been busy with boat stuff, getting ready for Spring takes longer every year.
As for the pictures all three were good but I will always give extra points for wildlife shots (very hard to get a good shot of wild things, young kids and babies included). So between Janus and Ara as finalists, sorry OZ that boar on the hoof may have made it.
Raptors are favorites of mine (you may have noticed) so I will give Araminta the edge this time, the hawk was very special and that kind of opportunity comes along so rarely it makes it that much harder to take advantage and frame the scene.
Well done Ara, worthy of National Geographic.

Nicely judged, LW. Well shot, Arrers! (Raptorous applause!) 😳
Thank you kindly, LW.
It was a bit of a one-off event, and I was lucky to have my camera handy. Said raptor was not going anywhere without her meal so she allowed me to get quite close!
I’ll set a competition early next week when I’m back from South Oxfordshire.
Thank you , Janus.
