Winning entries in BBOWT's photography competition

Lynzi Worth is overall winner and winner of the People and Wildlife category with this photograph taken at Finemere Wood. Goatsbeard seedheads make fantastic giant 'dandelion clocks'!

Alison Beck is runner up in the People and Wildlife category with her photograph of College Lake.
College Lake is one of the best places in Buckinghamshire for water birds. The reserve has many paths to explore the site, and a visitor centre and bird hides overlooking the lake.

Mary Payne wins the Wild Places category with her atmospheric photograph of Aston Clinton Ragpits nature reserve.
In spring and summer this tiny reserve is home to thousands of wild orchids. Our Hebridean sheep play a key part in managing this chalk grassland so that the orchids and other wild flowers bloom every year.

This flooded gravel pit next to the River Loddon is the perfect place to watch waterbirds and dragonflies.

Thousands of snake's-head fritillaries bloom here each spring thanks to BBOWT's careful management of the reserve.
