BWC Photo Comp; "Animals in Motion" Short List

Now it is time to show off the short listed entries for the most entered three categories. Starting today with the 10 finalists for our "Animals in Motion". Probably unsurprisingly, it was our owls and otters that featured most in this section.

This was one of my favourite categories, and truly had some stunning images entered, it took us a long time to narrow it down to the ten photographs below... Enjoy!
