February 3rd, 2010. The winning entry and runners up are shown below and were chosen by our external judge for this month,
Phil Coley of
The Game and Wildlife Conservation Trust.
First Place - Simply put, Phil preferred this photo to all the others! He has been in this situation many times on the last drive of the day when the pheasants are off to roost and not flying over you!  Photo taken at Portman Burtley Estate in Buckinghamshire on 2nd January 2010- Sent in by Andrew Perks- Taken by mobile phone on the last drive of the day! |
| Second Place - This is a perfectly timed photo and has many great things about it, least of all, Oakley's ears!  This is my brothers springer spaniel Oakley retrieving a duck and jumping a cattle grid during a shoot held on 9th Jan. This is a small shoot with 15 guns held nr Crewkerne somerset. - Nick Chant |
| Third Place - A great photo that wouldnt look out of place on the wall, shame about the stock though. Was beaten by the other two as it looked far too professional!  Empty Cartridges -Buckinghamshire - Oatley's Farm.
