The 2010 Winners
Scottish
Wildlife Category
1st place & Scottish Nature Photographer of
the Year 2010 - Ron McCombe, Waxwing 
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, Rons winning image encapsulated the exceptional
quality, creativity and dedication that the judges were looking for.
Ron
McCombe said Im 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.
