TEN of the best pictures form The Northern Echo Camera Club this week feature plenty of shots of the natural world.

From birds in flight, spring lambs and butterflies, to flowers in bloom and a close-up of a spider, Camera Club members have delivered another set of beautiful shots.

Our camera club gives amateur photographers a unique opportunity to have their images published in the North-East's leading regional daily newspaper, The Northern Echo.

The club also has a dedicated Facebook group where members can share their best snaps, get feedback and share tips.
