Gazette Camera Club photographers have captured images of spring across north east Essex.
Pictures of birds include blue tits singing in a choir to a rarer sighting of a red kite and a sparrowhawk.
Others captured young geese in their first moments and some photographers snapped amazing landscapes and flowers blooming in spring.
