Wigeon, a running hare and avocets featured in the winning images of the WWT Nikon Photography Competition, announced last week at an awards ceremony held at the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust London Wetland Centre. The competition showcased the talents of professional, amateur and junior photographers, whilst also celebrating the wealth of wildlife and wetland experiences on offer to visitors at WWT's nine UK centres. Robbie Wilson from Gretna picked up top prize for the junior category with his photo entitled 'follow the leader', which was shot at WWT Caerlaverock. The winner of the general photography prize was Andrew Bunting from Preston for his photo called 'running hare', taken at WWT Martin Mere. Finally, the winner of the digiscoping category was Anthony Daglish from Tyne and Wear for his photo called 'mating avocets', taken at WWT Washington.
Robbie, who is 12 years old, was delighted to have won the junior category. He said: "I am so pleased to have won; it's the first time I have ever won any competition ever. I loved every minute of the evening, especially when Chris Packham gave me my prize. He made my evening. My new camera is great too. I can't wait to start using it and seeing what it can do."
