Spring has definitely sprung and our camera club photographers have been all of a flutter.
This week we have a selection of great images of all sorts of birds from a sparrow hawk to a garden chaffinch.
We have selected 8 of our favourites of this week's submissions.
Be sure to join the Gazette Camera Club Colchester Facebook group to get involved in next week's spread.
