Image of 2013 (final poll)

*** CURRENT POSTINGS MAY BE FURTHER DOWN THE PAGE ***

Here are a final 'Top Twenty' selections, a few favourite pictures of mine (in no particular order) taken during 2013. This includes the top three Shropshire birds - congratulations to the Two-barred Crossbill or Pied Flycatcher which tied with the Hobby close behind.
You will find an voting box to the right, to keep things simple, check the FIVE pictures you like most! (click thumbs to open a larger image) FIVE votes maximum only please! (Only one voter is possible per PC sorry!)

I will let this poll run until January 5th and then YOUR No 1 Picture of the Year will be declared the following day....

Have a fantastic Christmas and here's wishing everyone great birding in 2014!
