Hi, Taylorducks!

I noticed that there was an end date of Oct 31, 2015 but I can't seem to find any photos or winner announcements. Were there not enough photo entries for this particular comp? Maybe "Birds Behaving Badly" was a difficult one to photograph? Or are the winners posted somewhere? I'm trying to find out what the newest Photo Competition is, as I'd like to join in the fun.

Please advise.

Thank you in advance,
ChickyChooky

Sadly there was not a single entry in the last competition. Which is a real pity as they really were alot of fun and there were some great photos entered over the years.

Hopefully lots of members will read this - please post below to show interest in the photo comp and I am more than happy to get another up and running again.

YES YES YES

Especially as of late my girls have been behaving particularly badly *LOL*

1. Eating stuff they are not supposed to (special plants, my body parts when I try to feed them LOL)

2. Moving into and thus pooing on areas they are not supposed to be in, or even near to. *arggh*!

3. Some bullying (shame!!) Smack! Off to auction asap!! (too many birds for space available - sure they will do better in a bigger flock)

They were fun, I think the topic chosen may have been a bit tricky.

i was just overwhelmed with life adn couldn't think of a theme for a photo.

Yes life got in the way here also - but a new camera has just been handed to me so no excuses now I guess. Bring it on: best intentions.

Ok so how about we get a replacement Comp 28 underway with an open theme to it ? Entrants would still need to give a caption to the photos entered but without an actual them it may help to get some interest back into the photo comps again. What do you all think?

I thought I'd missed out and that entries closed on 22 May. Right or wrong? What is or was the close-date??
