Wow, great to get so many votes, haven't had this many in quite a while. I could claim that it was a response to my threats, but I think we all know it's because we had so many quality entries.
And out of that pool of quality one photo has very deservedly risen to the top. I think it is certainly one of the best entries we've ever had, & probably (IMHO) THE best we've had to date.
I am of course referring to clubbyr8's shot, with 19 votes, of the New Holland Honeyeater. Seems that many of us could not help but be impressed by the clarity of the shot, not just of the subject, but it's surrounds too. Brilliant!
In second place with 16 votes is 'yours truly' with my shot of the Blue Winged Kookaburra. Thought I was a potential winner until I saw Clubby's Honeyeater.
In third place with 15 votes is michaelgreeny's Barn Owl .... which took me back to my childhood. I grew up with a stuffed one of these in a glass case watching over me in bed!
Congratulations clubbyr8 - a well deserved win!
Now, I have a further announcement.
Since establishing this photo comp back in September '13 I have enjoyed seeing it become a valued part of our forum, & just one of the 'glues' that helps to hold us together as a community. One thing in particular has been pleasing to me is the consistency of judgement of the 'voting panel'. Whilst I may not have always chosen the same winner as the majority, I think the majority have always got it right. From time to time someone posts something for a laugh, & they get it, but the winners have always been chosen on merit. I thank you all for that.
Anyway, tonight is the time to announce that because of my wife & I's long term travel plans getting close to fruition, it is time to hand over the reigns to someone else.
I think you will agree that TPC (Tony) is an obvious choice, he has supported the competition from the beginning, has been a winner more than once (most recently last month). Tony will take over as of this month. I'm sure he will do a great job in his own style. Please give him the support you have given me. Thanks everyone.
I look forward to capturing more potential entries as MrsTea & I endeavour to fulfill our nomadic dreams.

clubbyr8 please could you PM me with your choice of topic for June. (Past topics can be viewed HERE). Once I receive it I'll make posting up the June comp my final task as 'comp manager'.
