Organiser and judging panel member, Niall Irvine, said "This
competition has really highlighted the excellence of the photography that is undertaken
here in Scotland. Against such a strong field, Ron’s winning image encapsulated
the exceptional quality, creativity and dedication that the judges were looking
for.”
Ron McCombe said “I’m
delighted to hear the news of my win. I took the picture in Musselburgh, having
heard on the grapevine that waxwings were in the area. I was waiting for a bright
frosty day and when the forecast was right I set off very early in the morning.
I drove around Musselburgh looking and listening and eventually found them in
a sorbus tree. I stayed until I got the images I wanted, which was most of the
day until the sun started to set and the temperature dropped.”
