Royston Photographic Society has crowned the winners of its latest competition, which was on the theme of 'nature'.
The winning picture was Andrew Fox's 'Kestrel Life', capturing a kestrel with its prey.
In second place were a pair of mating brown argus butterflies, photographed by Martin Johnson on Therfield Heath, and in third place was Dave Walters' view of fungi in Thetford Forest, taken from a low angle on a damp autumn day.
Several of the club's photographers have received recognition recently in regional and national events.
