December Winner: Markulous and Year Winner: Wild Canon

Congratulations to Markulous on winning the final competition of 2009 and Wild Canon on winning the overall competition for the year!

The top 3 members this year were:

1st - Wild Canon (80 votes)
2nd - Markulous (40 votes)
3rd - Keith (33 votes)

Congratuations to all three of you and also a big thanks to everyone who entered this year. If you'd like to know your score then please contact Jamie.

As you know, this was Jamie's last month running the competition so a huge thank you to him from everyone at the forum. He's run the competition brilliantly and I'm sure you'll agree it's been a big success.

There will be no January competition this year but hopefully we should have something sorted for February.

Thanks and happy new year!

Swans and Watercress

Hi.. Does anyone know anything about the problems the watercress farmers in Hampshire are having with Swans ruining the crops? Only found a small piece about it in a birding mag.. can`t seem to find any more info.

Seems the swans are costing the farmer about £250,000 a year!


Thanks for that!
