Wild Bird photography competition

A budding photographer, Dr Roger Litton, has won a national Wild Bird photography competition with homes and garden retailer, wilko.

Local photography enthusiast Roger from Harrogate entered their picture of a long-tailed tit for the wilko Wild Bird Calendar competition. Wilko was so impressed with the image that Roger was awarded a £100 wilko voucher and selected as one of 12 winners to be featured in the official 2021 calendar.

Roger said: “I was delighted to discover that I had won the wilko Wild Bird photography competition and that my photo would be used in the 2021 calendar.”

Daniel Bingham, Senior Pets Buyer at wilko said: “With the UK spending more time in their gardens throughout lockdown, we saw a big increase in the number of entries and quality of the photos of wild birds submitted to the competition.”

“We can’t wait to see the final printed calendar in stores with the vast array of wild bird photography.

“It was a tough decision as there could only ever be 12 winners, but we were extremely impressed by Roger’s photo.”

The 2021 calendar will be on sale in store and available online at wilko.com in late 2020.
