Winning wildlife images wow judges

The winners of the fifth North East Wildlife Photography Competition were announced recently at the awards ceremony at the Great North Museum and, as with previous years, the panel of judges were left truly amazed.

The competition, which attracted over 1600 entries, is organised by Northumberland, Durham and Tees Valley Wildlife Trusts, the Natural History Society of Northumbria, Alan Hewitt Photography and the Great North Museum: Hancock, with Nestlé UK as the main sponsor.

The overall winning image of a migrant hawker dragonfly, taken by Marcus Kidd from Billingham , was chosen by broadcaster and writer David Lindo, aka ‘The Urban Birder’ who made a much welcome return to the region as the guest speaker on the night.
