Congratulations on taking third place in the August 2008 photo competition - 'Birds in Flight' :t:

From 73 very good entries 30 were selected for inclusion in the voting booth for members to select their favourite entry. 118 members cast their vote.

Voting was again pretty close for most of the way through but in the last few days one entry edged a little ahead of the rest of the field.

First place goes to

tom melton with Leucistic red kite which attracted 13/118 votes.

Second place -

johnnyoxygen with feeding whitethroat which attracted 10/118 votes.

Third place was a tie both attracting 9/118 votes.
