🏆📸 Today we had the pleasure of meeting Abbie Leigh, winner of our 'Wildlife Wonders' category, to present her with one of our bespoke Spring Photography Competition trophies. Congratulations, Abbie! 🎉
We would also like to congratulate our other category winners, Niki Rigo ('Spring in Bloom') and Flynn Johnstone ('Signs of Spring' & our very 1st Junior Winner), who were unfortunately unable to attend today.

Their winning photographs will be featured in our 2027 Friends of Buchan Country Park Calendar, due out in December. As well as appearing in future marketing materials and across our social media channels.

We'd also like to extend another huge thank you to everyone who entered the competition. The quality of the entries was fantastic, and we thoroughly enjoyed seeing Buchan Country Park through your eyes.

If you didn't win this time, don't be discouraged, you'll soon have another opportunity to get involved with our 🌞 Summer Photography Competition, which will be launching shortly, so keep an eye on our page for further details.

Thank you all for helping us celebrate the beauty, wildlife and ever-changing seasons of Buchan Country Park. We can't wait to see what you capture next! 📸🌿✨

🌸 Congratulations to our three winners of our Spring Photography Competition! 🌸

'Spring in Bloom' by Niki Rigo
'Wildlife Wonders' by Abbie Leigh
'Signs of Spring' by Flynn Johnstone, our 1st Jr winner!!

You have all truly captured the essence of Buchan in springtime. Your photographs beautifully showcase the colours, wildlife, landscapes and special moments that make the park such a wonderful place to visit during the season.

We were treated to a fabulous collection of entries, and the standard was exceptionally high. The quality and creativity on display made the judging and voting incredibly difficult, every photograph captured something special about spring.
A huge thank you to everyone who took part.

If your photo wasn't selected this time, please don't be discouraged. We still have two more seasonal competitions to come, giving you plenty more opportunities to share your photography and showcase your talent.

We can't wait to see what you capture next!
📸 Watch this space for details of our Summer Photography Competition coming soon!
