Photographers have shared their favourite wildlife shots taken in the North East and Cumbria.
Iain Turner said it was “good to see” a pregnant common lizard at Roudsea Wood near Haverthwaite, while Dan Haley came across three “gorgeous tawny owlets by accident” in Northumberland.
Paul Murdock’s plans involving an early start were thwarted by heavy rain, so he headed back home and spotted a deer just before it “hopped over the fence” in Dean, west Cumbria.
