Challenge has finished
The series now looks at humans and animals sharing our world. For this challenge, show one or more bird in or on a MAN MADE bird habitat, ie bird table, bird box, bird bath etc, any structure designed to assist birds to get through a winter by providing a place for food or water or shelter. *Capture date is relevant in respect of being a Winter months shot so this over rides the No Restrictions rule below as Winter Months is a tickable dpr option* If unsure of any of the rules please do ask via pm.
