Sterling starling shot wins top prize

21st July 2018

a Southport photographer has flown past his competitiin to win a national contest.

Amateur photographer John Fisher, from Southport, won the national retailer Wilko’s Wild Bird Calendar photography competition with his eye-catching photograph of a starling.

He was awarded the prize of a £100 Wilko voucher and his photograph is one of 12 that will be featured in the company’s official 2019 calendar.

He said: “I was delighted to discover that I had won and that my photo would be used in the 2019 calendar. “I took this photo in my back garden last May, when
fledgling starlings were begging to be fed. Dried meal- worms definitely came up trumps when taking this photo!”
The 2019 calendar will be on sale in store and online at wilko.com from late 2018.
