1st: Little Gull in flight
2nd: Yellow Wagtail with cow
3rd: Black-tailed Godwit on a post
So congratulations to the winner, Little Gull in flight (which ironically was (together with the perched version) one of just two entries which actually featured on the CBC gallery last year, though it passed under the monthly judge's radar at the time).
What I consider my best bird photos of 2010, taken in Cambridgeshire (as a light-hearted alternative to the official CBC photo of the year competition). If you want to choose your fave of my shots, please leave a comment (with a name, so I can filter out spam).

I do remember you racing past me on your bike to see the Ring Ouzel at Castor Mill Mike, but from a purely photographic point I would have to say the Blackwit is my favourite as its a perfect ID profile shot with great "bokeh".

I like the winner but the general standard also seems better than the Cambridgeshire Bird Club comp. Their overall winner was a disgrace: a reasonable composition of a dull stonechat but as soft as a bag of frogs. It will look like a pile of poo in the annual report!
