Oxford Mail Camera Club photographers have been taking photos of birds for our latest weekly theme.

Owls, eagles and other birds of prey and a wide variety of garden birds were all captured for our round-up.

Photos were taken in lots of different locations around Oxfordshire and also outside the county.

There were so many excellent photos submitted this week it was difficult to feature them all.

And it was not an easy job picking a photo of the week but in the end we selected this striking shot of a seagull by Jackie Brockis.

Every week camera club members are given a theme and then post their photos on the club’s Facebook page.

A selection are chosen to be shown in the Oxford Mail, and in The Oxford Times and online, and one photo is chosen as photo of the week. The next theme is ‘time’.
