Reader pictures nature special

Our readers love taking photos when they’re out and about – and we love seeing what they’ve taken!

We’ve put together a selection of our favourites, with a particular emphasis on nature, wildlife and the countryside.

You can send us your pictures by emailing [email protected] or posting them on Facebook under this story.
