Wild Marlow’s exhibition of winning photos in its wildlife photo competition was held on Saturday, 22nd October.

All the winning photos were on display at at All Saints’ Church Hall as visitors voted for the ‘People’s Choice’ from 24 pictures selected by the judges.

Over 300 visitors participated in the vote with Victoria Paull’s ‘Dawn Delight’ coming out as the winner.

Verity West of Wild Marlow presented prizes to the overall winner of the competition, Graham Parkinson, with his photo ‘Hettie Came to Tea’ and to the winner of the junior school category, Lucas Jacob, aged 6, for ‘Looking up from within the Seven Sisters’.

The winner of the senior school prize was fourteen-year-old Benjamin Tattershall Dodd, for his picture, ‘Blue Eyed Bird’.

Verity West said: “It’s wonderful to see the range and variety of wildlife in our area demonstrated by such fantastic photographs.

“We very much hope this competition will encourage people to appreciate and nurture our precious local wildlife.”

“The judges were impressed by the outstanding quality of the entries, and I’m sure they’d agree we have some very worthy winners this year.”

The winning photos are in Wild Marlow’s 2023 calendar, available (£10) from www.wildmarlow.org.uk, The Marlow Bookshop, 23 Living, FourState and the upcoming Marlow Markets.
