Having lost a few of the more 'specialised' wildlife photographers in the last couple of years the number of entries for this season's competition were rather disappointing. Nevertheless there were still many good images for our judge Andy Sands to consider for the evenings awards and many were held back in each category for final consideration.
Andy as well as judging the images from a photographic point of view, and making constructive suggestions how they might be improved, was always able to use his wildlife expertise and a smattering of anecdotes to broaden our knowledge about some of the creatures on display.
We are always indebted to Andy for the entertaining evenings he has given to us at Park Street and this was no exception.
