Summer is officially here, and it has been a joy to watch wildlife thrive across our nature reserves. From birds soaring the skies to damselflies, butterflies and moths delicately flying throughout the tall grasses and wildflowers, our natural spaces are covered in incredible wildlife.

The theme for our June photography competition was butterflies and moths and the entries we received where just incredible! This month we have seen some stunning images of Red Admirals, Small Coppers, Hummingbird Moths and so many more incredible butterfly and moth species.

Unfortunately, our judges can only pick one winner, a task that was extremely difficult this month as we received so many amazing entries. 

We are delighted to announce that the winner for June’s photography competition is… Ken Hayes!

A huge thank you to everyone who sent in their wonderful images! The winner will be contacted via email with details of how to redeem their £100 optics voucher prize.
