A Southport photographer's ruffled a few feathers to win a national contest.

Amateur photographer John Fisher won the national retailer Wilko's Wild Bird Calendar photography competition with this eye-catching photograph of a starling.

He's won a £100 Wilko voucher and his photograph is one of 12 featured in the company's official 2019 calendar.

He said: “I was delighted to discover that I had won and that my photo would be used in the 2019 calendar.

“I took this photo in my back garden last May, when fledgling starlings were begging to be fed. Dried mealworms definitely came up trumps when taking this photo!”

The 2019 calendar will be on sale in store and online at wilko.com from late 2018.

Thank goodness it wasn’t won by that arrogant blogger, poster on the other site. He is unbearable already. Well done to John Fisher - super photo.
