THE weather is starting to pick up (well fingers-crossed) and we wanted to ask our readers and amateur photographers to send in their shots of birds across East Lancashire.
We have been amazed by the response and you have obviously been snapping away at the start of 2017.
Included in the shots are robins, kingfishers, maxwings and blue tits.
If you have taken any shots of birds in your garden or out in the countryside then you can submit them via the new online feature on our website to make it easier to submit your news and pictures.
Why not check out the link http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/news/15037569.Have_you_been_birdwatching_this_month__Send_us_your_photographs_of_rare_and_popular_birds/
We will put the entries in an online gallery.
