“This is not only birds and animals but also flora, fauna and landscapes taken within the Chorley geographical district.”

He continues: “The society is now 42 years old and we have a growing membership totalling 120.

“We organise walks, talks and an annual ‘Bio Blitz’ as well as recording sighting of wildlife in the area which is all so important when it comes to planning applications threatening our natural habitats.

Entries are now being invited for the competition, which closes on October 31.
