Default Wildlife photographer of the year

Some excellent work here, particularly the one of the battling Yellowhammers, but I can't help feeling that the winning shot may have had a little Photoshop help?

I'd have given it to the Yellowhammers, that Wolf shot also looks staged to me. But then what do I know.

An excellent image of the Yellowhammers from one so young too! This young man will go far!

Yes I read about it, Merlin! It would appear that your first instincts may have been correct.

Someone posted the photo of the year which I thought was superb but didn't show the other pics, the yellow hammers would have won it for me.

But for sentimentality as I love cats, I liek the cat and fox one.

Go get him tiger LOL

Just heard on the radio that the winner has been disqualified as the Wolf wasn't real!
