Photography Competition Results - January 2024

John Cobham

It’s a new year and we are thrilled to have received so many incredible entries this month under the theme of ‘Mammal Magic’!

January is a wonderful time! As we all reset for a new year, the wildlife around us continues to thrive, even in the ever-changing weather that we have experienced this month.

Our theme for January was ‘Mammal Magic,’ and we received some truly magical entries. Roe deer, badgers, sheep, foxes, hares and even a mouse; these are just a few of the wonderful mammals that this month’s photographers have captured beautifully.

Some of these mammals clearly love the attention and are happily posing for the camera, whereas others are harder to spot as they hide away from prying eyes, only to emerge slightly for their photo opportunity.

The winner of January’s photography competition is… Michaela Moville!

Mouse

Michaela Moville

This stunning little mouse completely captivated our judges! We loved the whole composition of this image, with one of our judges adding:

“This photo seizes the moment to capture a great pose, with curiosity briefly overcoming fear; both important elements in a small mammal's survival”.

Otter Praying

Anne Peters

Second place goes to Anne Peters and her wonderful image titled ‘Otter Praying’. The way that Anne has captured the reverent side of this little otter is amazing.

Emerging Badger

John Cobham

Finally, third place goes to ‘Emerging Badger’ by John Cobham. Cobham has perfectly captured this reserved creature as it emerges into a brand-new day.

A huge thank you to everyone who sent in their wonderful images! To see all the incredible entries we received, please take a look at the album below. The winner will be contacted via email with details of how to redeem their £100 optics voucher prize.
