Winners have been revealed for a wildlife photography competition after judges painstakingly trawled through more than 450 photos.
The Berkshire, Buckinghamshire & Oxfordshire Wildlife Trust (BBOWT) 2023 photography competition welcomed entrants across 12 different categories following its launch in April.
Competition judges Ben Vanheems and Steve Gozds, who assessed photographs alongside Chris Deeney, spoke about the extent of deliberation that took place to determine a worthy winner.
