Wildlife was this weeks’ Oxford Mail Camera Club competition theme and photographers sent in brilliant snaps of Oxfordshire's animals.

Pictures of birds, rabbits, mice and even a picture of a meerkat at the zoo were sent in.

However, one image stood out and this week’s winning photographer is Anthony Morris with his spectacular snap of a Heron spreading its wings on the waterside captioned “grey heron with plenty of attitude.”

The visual storyteller was praised on the Camera Club Facebook page for his sharp shot of the grey heron.
