Hello - I was wondering what criteria you use to select the shortlisted pics. Do you take into consideration how rare or how shy the bird is, or do you JUST consider the image itself?
 
We take everything into consideration when deciding which entries make it into the next round.

A well taken photo of a more common species though is more likely to count for more than a poorly taken photo of a rarity.
 
What is the definition of Perched? I noticed a couple of photos in the slide show of birds on the ground, is this really perched?? also one flying, now that isn't perched??? all good pictures just want to clarify for myself, before uploading.

cheers

This is what Ian says in the rules above.

Perched is defined as a single bird which is stood e.g. on the ground, in the water, on a tree branch, fence, lampost, telegraph pole, roof top etc. Birds in flight will not be accepted.

I've submitted my entry 3 times. My internet connection has been dreadful today and broke during uploads so I thought I'd failed each time. Please delete two.

Thanks
