A photography competition is currently underway in Monaghan to celebrate World Wetlands Day that takes place on the 2nd of February.
The completion theme is Monaghan's Wonderful wetlands and the competition is encouraging people of all ages to get out in your local community and capture your local wetlands. Just get out to your nearest wetland a bog, stream, river, pond, lake and take a photo of what you see.
It might be a duck, a heron, a boat, fishing, some frogspawn, a plant - or maybe your dog or your family enjoying the wetlands, as long as it celebrates the many wonderful wetlands we have in Monaghan, it’s eligible. Monaghan Biodiversity officer Patricia McCreesh says it a wonderful initiative to celebrate our local wetlands.
You can email your photos to [email protected] with the closing date of Wednesday January 31st. The winners will be announced on the Wider View here on Northern Sound on February 2nd to coincide with World Wetlands Day.
