These are some of the best photographs taken by the Hampshire Camera Clubs this week.

From magnificent birds to resplendent insects, we've selected six photos from across the camera clubs to feature in this gallery.

This month's theme is "summer joy", and some of the chosen photos are examples of this.

In no particular order: 

  1. A fox enjoys the evening sunshine, by Lesley Tilson for the Hampshire Chronicle Camera Club.
  2. A gaggle of greylag geese, by Daniel Brown for the Hampshire Chronicle Camera Club.
  3. A barn owl, by Deborah Heath for the Basingstoke Gazette Camera Club.
  4. A scarlet tiger moth, by Anthony Hutchinson for the Basingstoke Gazette Camera Club.
  5. Sibling rivalry between fledgling kestrels, by Jesse Winston for the Andover Advertiser Camera Club.
  6. A dragonfly in a pond, by Ray Betteridge for the Andover Advertiser Camera Club.

All photos are taken from the Hampshire Chronicle Camera Club, Basingstoke Gazette Camera Club, Andover Advertiser Camera Club and Romsey Advertiser Camera Club. They will appear in the Hampshire Chronicle Lite published on June 21.
