Re: Countryfile
"Morning Hare" is by John Evans, who used to be a regular wildlife contributor on this Forum and "Berry Brunch" is by Dean Mason, who is a local wildlife photographer to me and Stan.
I particularly liked the "Monarch of the Morning" and the "Twilight Hunter", although regarding the latter it would appear to be early morning, but let's not let facts get in the way of a snappy title!
Regarding the rest? I see better on this Forum every week .............. but that's only my opinion.Colin

Re: Countryfile
I thought the three butterflies all neatly lined up and all in focus looked very suspicious. I can't remember most of the others so they obviously didn't make a big impression.EOS 6D, 6D Mk II, 80D, 70D, 100D, 200D, M50, M100. Canon 10-18, 18 - 55, 55 - 250 IS STM lenses, Canon 16 - 35 mm F4L, 35 mm EF-S macro, 50 mm F1.8 STM, 60 mm EF-S macro, MPE-65 macro, 85 mm F1.8, 200 mm F2.8 L II, M 15 - 45 mm, M 22mm F2, M 32mm F1.4.

Re: Countryfile
I wouldn't enter.....they sell 500,000 of these at around £10.00, so that's £5m, half goes to the BBCs children in need....fair enough and only £1000 goes to the winner and its in vouchers...the presenters get more than that for one episode...and the BBC pockets the rest.
Not sure if Chris Evans gets a cut too....Brian Vickers LRPS

Originally posted by Daisy M View PostI agree with Jeff, they nearly all looked so false, I think this maybe the first year I won't be getting one, as for the butterflies, how did Simon King ( one of the judges) not see that that was rigged?
Unless the rules specifically forbid it I don't see an issue here - as far as I recall this competition is run more on a visual art basis with nature as a set theme rather than a 'proper' natural history event...Nigel
