Wot's going on.

Well if you were my wife, she would say it's no good asking me....

Hi good people,


Well a couple of tit-bits, firstly I would like to inform you all, we have a new judge for the 2019 Photographic Competition.

Andy has kindly agreed to take on this difficult task, he has a love of most aspects in photography but especially indulges in wildlife, so many thanks to him for volunteering his services.

On that vain a couple of changes and reminders to all those who would like to enter images for this year.
The last date for getting the images to me will be the Christmas get together at the Spinney Hill public house (date to be announced).

This will allow a little more time for me getting things sorted. Strictly only images after that date may be used in the following year.

I would also ask that all entries are supplied with a paper back-up, having your name and a contact email. This should also list all the categories being entered along with the name of each specie in those category's. This is a great help in collating the images and the judge receiving a completely mixed up set of images. All images only need the species name appended (not numbered).

I will in due course amend these changes in the rules section.


 Just like to remind you all, that the Bird Club Blog has lots to offer and for members to make use of.

We have a For Sale and Wanted page, ideal to advertise any articles you may want or want to sell.
It can be anything as long as it's legal and not necessarily to do with birding.

We have a page to showcase your lovely images of Other Northants Wildlife, that includes all sorts
of Wildlife eg Reptiles, Plants, Fungi, Mammals etc.
So why not send a few images for all to enjoy.

We have Car Trips to various places most months, so why not join us on one, find a friend and share the driving. There's always plenty of fun and banter and some great birds. If you would like to participate just contact Bob Gill for more information.

Finally the very coveted Graham Soden Photographic Shield will be up for grabs again later this year, so why not enter some images !

AFRICA ?!! Nope not going!
