A remarkable shot of a pair of kingfishers has been crowned the winner of the Sussex Wildlife Trust's photo competition.
12 finalists were selected from more than 680 entries for the online photography competition.
Over 800 people voted for their favourite and it was a close contest, but a clear winner emerged.
Michael Vickers from Pulborough won with his beautiful shot called ‘Kingfisher Confrontation’.
He took it at Warnham Nature reserve near Horsham.
Michael said:
“I took the photograph at Warnham Nature Reserve, near Horsham. I’d been a regular visitor, seeking to photograph this stunning bird. On this occasion, I was lucky to be in the right place at the right time, when one male kingfisher aggressively confronted another, who had been quietly watching the water.”
Richard French from St Leonards-on-Sea was voted runner-up with his unusual and beautiful ethereal fantasy landscape of British ancient woodland called ‘A Twist in Time’ - pictured below.
All 12 finalists’ photographs will feature in Sussex Wildlife Trust’s 2021 online calendar, available to download in December this year.
The photos will also feature on social media and the Trust’s members’ magazine.
Michael has also been offered the chance to take over the Trust's Instagram account for a week.
