TENBY Camera Club’s excellent reputation for its wildlife photography was clearly illustrated in its annual Nature competition. Judge Andy Leslie was entrusted with the daunting task of critiquing and scoring 77 entries from 21 photographers on December 3. A wide range of nature was represented from birds, fungi, insects, mammals and amphibians. Images from gardens to far-flung places through all the seasons meant the variety was excellent. Eight images were given the maximum score of 20 with eleven scoring 19 points, so there was a tight fight for the top places. Taking first place Dave Bundock with his image of a fur seal pup sheltering from the wind, taken in South Georgia. In second was Charlie Kidd with Dalmatian Pelican landing at Lake Kikini and in third was Neil Thomas with Osprey.
