We go wild for good photographs and it seems you do too. We asked for your best pictures of animals and were inundated with all creatures great and small.

Flocks of birds, herds of farm animals and scores of beloved family pets all featured in the pictures you sent us. The shots we have chosen to appear on these pages are some of our favourites from the scores of photographs that were uploaded to our website in the last few weeks.

Each month we give you a theme to be thinking of when you’re out and about with your camera, tablet or phone and we love to see how creative and inventive you can be.

And do keep sending us your wonderful pictures of Yorkshire landscapes too, we love to receive them as well.
