Photographic competition 2010
Results
The winners of the annual Hawk Conservancy Trust Photographic Competition have been announced.
The competition, in its third year, was judged by a panel of sponsors and supporters of the Trust, including BBC presenter and zoologist, Chris Packham, who chose the overall winner.
Chief Executive Officer, Ashley Smith, said “the standard of entries in this competition is always high and it makes the task of judging each category really difficult, Once again, there were many stunning images that captured our birds of prey at their best. The talent of these photographers is just amazing. We are very fortunate that they are prepared to share their photographs with us.”
