First off its the Best of the British Isles winner, congratulations Hugo on your beautiful capture of this female Red Grouse!
Taken in June 2020 in the Angus Glens, she was acting as a distraction so that her chicks could move to a safer location that was away from the track that we were walking on. We gave her plenty of room and moved on quickly after I took this.
We’ll be announcing the winners of each category today but don’t forget to vote for the people’s choice too! You can find the album on our facebook page, each like = a vote.

Next we have the International Admiration winner, congratulations Pippa on your incredible Walrus shot taken in Torellneset, Svalbard.
On the edge of a large polar desert island in the Svalbard Archipelago lies a common haul out site for the large arctic beast; the Walrus. Resting in large herds, huddled together, occasionally lifting a head, or rolling over to a more comfortable position. (16/08/19)

CALLING ALL PHOTOGRAPHERS
We’re excited to announce the (official) opening of our annual photography competition! We know some of you take some incredible photographs so we want to celebrate the talent with this competition. We have 3 main entry categories:
1. Best of British: We have the most amazing landscapes and wildlife right on our doorsteps so if you’ve ventured way up into the Highlands of Scotland or down to the unique coast of Southern England, or anywhere in between – we want your best wildlife or landscape snaps from the British Isles.
2. International Admiration: Whether you’ve moved to Scotland from your own stunning country, or you’ve headed off somewhere brilliant on holiday or expedition – we want your most vibrant shots from around the globe.
3. Macro: The little things in life are important, and some of the world’s most impressive creatures are the wee ones. It takes a lot of skill to master macro photography so our final category will celebrate the tiniest of marvels the natural world has to offer.
Send in any entries to our email guzoosoc@gmail.com with your name, date the photo was taken and any story behind the snap! Remember that anyone who’s sent in #wildlifefromhome photos throughout the year will also be automatically entered.
Your photos don’t need to be from the past year, we’ve had entries from as far back as the 1970s! You can only enter once per category but as many categories as you like. A winner and runner up for each category will be chosen by our trusty committee, and there’ll be a prize for each category! Each year the winning photo’s are printed on canvases and displayed in the Graham Kerr building as well as representing our society on all our newsletters and membership cards.
We’ll be closing the competition the last week of the semester! Good luck!!
