Wild Shot: A Wrap Up of our Wonderful Competition

06/11/2025

Our Wild Shop Competition has come to an end, and we're thrilled to congratulate our winner, Hocking Photography! 

His mesmerising photos of British birds, including a tufted duck, robin and Mandarin duck, completely blew the judges away, and we're excited to see more of his work in future. 

Highly Commended

Since we had so many entries for this competition, we would like to share a few more of our favourites. They may not have taken the top prize, but they still managed to capture the attention of our judges and for that we think they deserve a shout out. 

E. M. Arts

We're kicking things off with this stunning shot of a goose stretching its wings, taken in Beecraigs Country Park in West Lothian. The reflection shining in the rippling water brings a fantastic element of movement to the photo and really brings it to life.

 

Lesley Gilmon

With fabulous shots featuring insects and a beautiful robin, Lesley manages to capture an incredible amount of detail. The personalities of the subjects really shine through and definitely put a smile on the faces of the judges. 

 

Hugh Harkin Photography

Bringing some gorgeous shots of deer, dolphins, kingfishers and even a white tailed eagle, the largest bird in the UK, Hugh's photography certainly deserves some recognition. From the froth of the waves to the magnificent colours of the kingfisher feathers, each photo is as breathtaking as the last. 

We want to say a huge thank you to everyone who took park in our Wild Shot competition. There were some fantastic shots sent in that perfectly captured some of the UK's finest wildlife and showcased the talent of our guests and followers. 

Keep an eye out on our social channels and website for any future competitions.
