Over the course of the year, the MCS Environmental Society has encouraged our community to take photographs of the natural world, to submit as part of the MCS Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition. All the photos were taken in the UK, encouraging students to notice and care for the wildlife on their doorsteps. Judged across six categories, ‘Wetlands and water‘, ‘Cute‘, ‘Plants and fungi‘, ‘Animal behaviour‘, ‘Light‘ and ‘Teacher’s choice‘, the winners are as follows:
Wetlands and water
Winner: Ivan (Fifth Form)
“I took the photo in Hebden Bridge in west Yorkshire, we made a quick visit while traveling from Scotland back to Oxford. Standing on the bridge overlooking the canal, I loved how the colourful boats lined up against the reflection of the trees in the water, and how the small track next to the canal seems to lead into the hills up ahead.”
Cute
Winner: Miss Thatcher
Plants and fungi
Winners: Tanish (Third Form), blue roundhead mushrooms and Bohanegan (Second Form), echinacea.
Animal behaviour
Winner: Vedant (Lower Sixth)
Light
Winner: Jonas (Third Form)
“This photo was taken in Port Meadow. The reflection of the grazing horses on the tranquil water in the early morning sun captivated me.”
