VIBRANT birds can be seen in this week’s selection of pictures from The Northern Echo Camera Club, from a goldfinch showing off red feathers in Hardwick Park, to bigger birds taking off and coming in to land on waters across the region.

Stunning pink blossom can be seen in a picture by Pauline Raine, and the deep reds and blues of a pheasant can be seen in a photo from John Lavelle.

This selection appreciates and shows the beauty of wild birds all across the region.
