2021 Photo Contest Winners

Congratulations to the winners of the 2021 Urquhart Butterfly Garden Photo Contest!

One judge mentioned that it was extremely difficult to decide on the winners among many excellent photographs.  I am sure that the others felt the same.

Thank you to all who entered, I hope you enjoyed the experience and will take part in our next contest.

We shall be holding a Winter Nature Photo Contest, together with the Hamilton.  Conservation Authority. It is intended to begin on December 1, 2021 – watch your local newspaper and this web site for further information.
