AMATEUR photographers of all ages are urged to enter photos in the Herts and Middlesex Wildlife Trust’s annual wildlife photo competition, Wild Snaps.
Now in its fourth year, it was set up to celebrate the beauty, variety and strength of the wildlife and habitats in the region, and to help people connect with nature.
This year, there will be prizes for photos taken with smartphones, as well as cameras, a decision the Trust hopes will open up the competition to all ages.
Photos could be taken in your garden and outdoor spaces, on a walk, exploring a nature reserve or a special place where your favourite species can be found.
Wild Snaps is open for entries until Sunday, September 17. An expert judging panel will decide on the best 30 images entered, and then it's over to the public to vote.
The winning images will feature in Wildlife Matters, the Trust’s magazine.
Additionally, prizes will be awarded to adults and under-18s, including wildlife watching equipment, donated by Opticron, smartphone photo workshops from Jet Black Squares and sustainable gifts from Tommy & Lottie.
