"Birds In Flight" Competition - Members Voting Results

The 'Birds in Flight' competition was held in September-October 2016.  'Birds in Flight' is defined as any image which shows birds from the point of take off (wings up but feet may still be on perch) to the point of landing (wings up but feet may be grounded). This may include birds which have leapt up, if only for a brief moment (such as during an excitable disagreement) - as long as it is clear that the feet will leave/have completely left the ground.

The results of member voting for the top 5 images in each category are listed here.  In line with many other bird/wildlife photo competitions, we present the results in the following manner: the Winner is the image which received the most votes; and we also show the next four highest placed images, rating them as Highly Commended if they received at least 90% of the votes for the winning image, and Commended for scores less than that.
