My Favourite Photos Of 2025

It is always difficult to choose the best photos from a year, especially a year that was dominated by perfect photographic weather! During this last year I also photographed two subjects that I had never captured before – Red Necked Grebe and a Weasel so they had to be included in the list.
As always my Spring was dominated by moorland Owls so Barn, Short-Eared and Long Eared are included. The highlight has to be a Long Eared Owl taking off with a vole in its mouth on a rather wet Pennine evening.
I don’t usually enter many photographic competitions so the Kingfisher photo, taken in Bowland, was a pleasing result as it won their annual competition!
What will 2026 bring along? We can only pray for good subjects, good weather and good health.
So all the very best to all our readers. www.facebook.com/gordonyateswildlife
