Ethics Taken in the 1990s, in the days of film, this Ibisbill was photographed at the nest high in the Himalayas, near Langtang in Nepal. At the time it was one of just a few images of the species breeding, and the project helped document its semi-colonial nesting habits. Sadly, the entire area was destroyed in the 2015 earthquake. ©Paul Sterry/BPOTY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1552400893773-1U75DIP3Z7B17S370A8V/Razorbill.jpg Camera School - 11.

Ethics With certain species and in particular locations, birds will happily sing of their own accord without resorting to taunting them with playback. For example, Bluethroats in arctic Norway are often indifferent to people, making them ideal for photography. ©Paul Sterry/BPOTY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1552401128855-ZQDZYIFUBH0438ALY71G/Hawk+Owl.jpg Camera School - 11. Ethics It is possible to get winter images of Hawk Owls using fieldcraft: the species typically ‘does the rounds’ of regular perches in an established territory. What you are unlikely to get though are the ‘flying right at you’ shots obtained by resorting to the contentious method of ‘fishing’ for them with mice. ©Paul Sterry/BPOTY https://www.birdpoty.com/camera-school-1/2019/3/12/10-water-drinking-and-bathing-as-methods-for-improving-photo-opportunities monthly 0.5 2019-03-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1552400053153-X13BLB5WN959XJSZDF1P/Corn+Bunting.jpg Camera School - 10.

Food and feeding to improve photo-opportunities : It is relatively easy to attract Buzzards to feed on roadkill Rabbits. But encouraging raptors to feed on carcasses away from roads does have a dark side: poisoned carrion is used to illegally kill raptors.

For example, when small birds (such as this Goldfinch) take flight from a regularly-used perch (such as this Teasel) they usually fly off in the same direction and descend slightly before their wings provide lift. With autofocus turned off, and by best-guessing the focal point and placement, you stand a chance of getting a natural flight shot such as this. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1611233023345-KNE2SVSG2ECXX1QYN2O6/143284.jpg BPOTY Features - Lockdown Garden Bird Photography Concealed drilled holes containing peanuts were all the enticement this Great Spotted Woodpecker needed for a photogenic visit to the garden. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1611233066705-1A3QGU8MEVZHMW4FTHFY/144806.jpg BPOTY Features - Lockdown Garden Bird Photography This Blue Tit was photographed as it approached a winter feeding-station, with its perch framed by appropriate placement of foliage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1611233141660-IXCZU0G3OCTAVI66BPI0/144805.jpg BPOTY Features - Lockdown Garden Bird Photography Photographing through a veil of out-of-focus leaves lends an intimate feel to this portrait of a Jay. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1611233169322-5J1DQTDAHXCDJPKZ7MLD/133142.jpg BPOTY Features - Lockdown Garden Bird Photography Before they begin feeding, Bramblings will often perch momentarily on a strategic perch that allows them to observe proceedings, and spot potential danger. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1611062234015-993NDPNJMV8TE85UC8TU/bird-photography-lockdown-garden-birdfeeder-dslr-guide-tips08.jpg BPOTY Features - Lockdown Garden Bird Photography This Marsh Tit routinely hovered near a feeder’s opening, preferring this option to perching.

Occasionally, however, they emerge and perch in the open. By observation you can work out which perches they prefer, station yourself accordingly. Sooner or later your patience will be rewarded. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1611233448773-HHX4TTSY0MMGAUHADW6J/162248.jpg BPOTY Features - Lockdown Garden Bird Photography In most situations feeding Goldcrests are seemingly completely oblivious to people, making them great photographic subjects. Like many small birds, they usually follow a ‘circuit’ in the bushes as they feed and sooner or later will re-appear in the same spot. Rather than chase them around with your camera, spend time working out the best photographic location on their route and just wait. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1611233508346-7TIC58RJBRBZA11ES8YP/163035.jpg BPOTY Features - Lockdown Garden Bird Photography In West Africa, most starling species are much more colourful than their UK counterpart.

On Hearing the First Cuckoo in Spring. Having spent the winter months in Africa, Cuckoos arrive back in the UK from mid-April to early May. The first job of a male is to advertise its presence with the iconic and onomatopoeic song; once widespread and familiar nowadays this is an increasingly rare sound in southern Britain away from a few Cuckoo hotspots.

Hairy caterpillars feature heavily in an adult Cuckoo’s diet and they are not put off by the irritant bristles that deter other bird species. However, moths such as the Drinker Euthrix potatoria, whose larvae by rights should be an important food source in southern England, appear anecdotally to have declined significantly in recent years. The caterpillars feed on coarse grasses in damp, agriculturally ‘unimproved’ meadows. It is hard to imagine that habitat degradation (through land drainage, herbicide application and rank grass seeding for example) has not played its part in the moth’s downfall. In southern England at least, away from nature reserves and heathlands, you have to wonder what on earth can Cuckoos find to eat these days?

Cuckoos are nest parasites and have evolved to time their migratory arrival in the UK to match the breeding season of host species. The main targets for egg-laying here are Meadow Pipit, Dunnock, Pied Wagtail and Reed Warbler. Individual birds tend to be species specialists: for example, those raised by a Reed Warbler are likely to return to reedbed habitats and in turn target Reed Warblers for nest parasitism.

In response to global warming the average breeding seasons of Dunnock, Pied Wagtail and Reed Warbler have shifted forward by about 5-6 days in recent decades according to BTO research. However, phenological changes may not be a root cause of the Cuckoo’s decline and in fact earlier Reed Warbler breeding may actually be a benefit. These conclusions can be drawn from years of extensive research, including work undertaken by BTO staffer Dr Dave Leech who helped with the capture of this image.

Since 2011 the British Trust for Ornithology has been satellite-tracking Cuckoos to monitor their migration routes and discover where precisely they go in winter. The results have been informative and revelatory in equal measure. Here, journalist Mike McCarthy releases a bird named ‘Clement’, one of the first satellite-tagged Cuckoos.

An evaluation of BTO research to date strongly indicates that climate change may be an important factor in the Cuckoo’s decline. Specifically the information reveals the need to understand how successful Cuckoo migration is linked to and dependent upon the drought-ending rains of the weather frontal system known as the Inter Tropical Convergence Zone.

Even in Scotland, the heartland for the UK’s nesting Golden Plovers, according to the BTO the breeding population declined by 25% between 1995 and 2013. ©Paul Sterry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1569676467888-5XR1I7MP26MVC437HEPB/image+2.jpg BPOTY Features - Pity the poor plover The problems facing nesting Golden Plovers range from the obvious – tree planting which destroys breeding habitat - to more insidious factors such as drainage. Drain the peat and you kill cranefly larvae through desiccation, and far fewer emerge as adults the following year. Adult craneflies are a vital source of food for Golden Plovers and other moorland species during the breeding season and this impacts breeding success. The situation is only made worse by global warming which results in hotter, drier summers. ©Paul Sterry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1569676550944-CHI4N6JFEW17ZQN7RLLB/image+3.jpg BPOTY Features - Pity the poor plover The breeding range of the Golden Plover extends from northern mainland Europe across Siberia and also includes Iceland.

In this day and age, it seems almost inconceivable that anyone would want to shoot these charming and inoffensive birds. But if you are licensed to kill and have the landowner’s permission that is exactly what you can do. ©Paul Sterry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1569676659972-IAY8EG1FT9ZRNPXERA32/image+5.jpg BPOTY Features - Pity the poor plover Golden Plovers are widespread in the UK outside the breeding season. According to the BTO Birdfacts website the population rises from an estimated 49,000 in the breeding season to more than 400,000 during the winter months. There appear to be no available figures for the numbers shot in the UK and therefore the impact of hunting on the species cannot be assessed in any meaningful way. Perhaps that is something that should be addressed? ©Paul Sterry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1569676704554-O2NBTDDW4L26IYT7T5IY/image+6.jpg BPOTY Features - Pity the poor plover Outside the breeding season Golden Plovers favour wet grassland with short vegetation and farmland.

However, in the first half of the 20th Century chance discoveries revealed that it had clung onto existence. An expedition in 1951 confirmed its presence on just five tiny, rocky islets in Castle Harbour and the entire world population that year was estimated to be just 17 or 18 pairs, with just eight chicks being produced. ©Paul Sterry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1569428946905-RHM33YTO0WVK70WK3L51/picture+2.jpg BPOTY Features - BPOTY Conservation Documentary Award - Saving the Bermuda Petrel The five breeding islets on which the Cahow survived at the time of its resurrection were vulnerable to rising sea levels and hurricane damage. So in 2001 the Cahow's current guardian angel, Jeremy Madeiros, from Bermuda's Department of Environment and Natural Resources, began translocating chicks just prior to fledging. They were moved from vulnerable islets to artificial burrows on Nonsuch Island, a haven cleared of non-native species and predators, and re-stocked with previously-extirpated endemics by pioneering Cahow-saviour David Wingate. ©Paul Sterry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1569429007013-MRRTE1GEC6566FZDB4F1/picture+3.jpg BPOTY Features - BPOTY Conservation Documentary Award - Saving the Bermuda Petrel Extended caption: In the breeding season proper, Cahows are strictly nocturnal and in daylight seldom venture close enough to land to be observed. However, although eggs are not laid until late January or February, adults return to Bermuda waters for a couple of weeks in early November, to court, mate and stake a claim on a nest burrow. This is when Jeremy does some of most important work – weighing, measuring and sometime satellite-tagging the birds. ©Paul Sterry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1569429080794-GXNMSEDXU1MZFEZ2R2VH/picture+4.jpg BPOTY Features - BPOTY Conservation Documentary Award - Saving the Bermuda Petrel Legendary David Wingate (instrumental in the initial protection of the species) built artificial next boxes as a first step to helping the birds. But the Cahows then had to contend with White-tailed Tropicbirds entering their nest burrows and killing the chicks. So he carefully constructed entrance hole 'baffles' to exclude the tropicbirds and this practical solution is maintained to this day by Jeremy Madeiros. ©Paul Sterry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1569429131265-O6VLVKCYDB1U7C20DGJI/picture+5.jpg BPOTY Features - BPOTY Conservation Documentary Award - Saving the Bermuda Petrel The fate of the Cahow is quite literally in our hands. Thanks in part to the support of the Bermuda Audubon Society, the Cahow nest recovery programme has been a resounding success and in the 2018 nesting season 125 pairs were identified. Immature birds spend a few years at sea before returning home to breed so the next decade will be crucial for the species. ©Paul Sterry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1569429191496-CDM3AXXK8VPSDFARUNGW/picture+6.jpg BPOTY Features - BPOTY Conservation Documentary Award - Saving the Bermuda Petrel Let’s hope Bermuda Petrels are able to build on their success so far and that a thriving population of this stunning seabird develops, for their own sake and for future generations of birders to enjoy. Perhaps in 10 years time the sight of a pair of Cahows engaged in courtship behaviour in November will be a familiar one both to residents and visitors to Bermuda. ©Paul Sterry https://www.birdpoty.com/bpoty-featured-photographers/an-interview-with-caron-steele-bpoty-2019-winner monthly 0.5 2019-09-23 https://www.birdpoty.com/bpoty-featured-photographers/bpoty-exhibition-at-cley-marshes monthly 0.5 2019-09-19 https://www.birdpoty.com/bpoty-featured-photographers/conservation-award-prize-announced monthly 0.5 2019-09-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1568900874309-M187JR2KJUR0M885CN3R/GT2542+for+web.jpg BPOTY Features - Conservation Award Prize Announced Gitzo GT2542 Mountaineer Series tripod https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1568900925195-NQ9FN5022SK4LQYT0ZT7/GHF2W+for+web.jpg BPOTY Features - Conservation Award Prize Announced Gitzo GHF2W 2-way fluid head https://www.birdpoty.com/bpoty-featured-photographers/bpoty-celebrating-the-best-images-from-australia monthly 0.5 2019-09-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1568725298874-6VOWXSRS1UBDECJD9YVC/BIF+Silver.jpg BPOTY Features - BPOTY - Celebrating the best images from Australia This image of a Welcome Swallow won photographer Georgina Steytler our Silver Award in the Birds in Flight category. ©Georgina Steytler https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1568725450185-CQT2VEN2TFO1U8105280/ATD+HM1.jpg BPOTY Features - BPOTY - Celebrating the best images from Australia An Honorable Mention in our Attention to Detail category is Diana Andersen’s reward for this image of a feather stuck to the bill of an Australian Pelican. ©Diana Andersen https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1568727351744-03AZ54HYR0LK9BF7DJOS/ccu7CO0SfSlrl5N6R5KF_Run+On+Water.jpg BPOTY Features - BPOTY - Celebrating the best images from Australia Heather Thorning was awarded a Commendation from the judges for this image of Pink-eared Ducks in the Bird Behaviour category.

Although the chances of seeing the region’s speciality Dupont’s Lark in high summer are remote, four other species are much in evidence near water. Crested, Greater Short-toed and Lesser Short-toed are all around and most impressive of course is Calandra Lark. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1562576816746-OTU9XFD5QHHM33V527B0/calandra+1.jpg BPOTY Features - The Plains of Spain Revisited by Paul Sterry During our time at drinking pools, small flocks of Calandra Larks made a regular appearance, with birds often hovering before committing to landing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1562576867580-UOUKC29SEANFIJ13V0XO/stone+curlew.jpg BPOTY Features - The Plains of Spain Revisited by Paul Sterry Stone-curlews also visited the drinking pools for an early morning wash and brush-up. Perhaps it was affected by the heat in some way, but this particular bird displayed some rather odd behaviour for several minutes, almost like it was chasing its own shadow. https://www.birdpoty.com/bpoty-featured-photographers/beautiful-scavengers monthly 0.5 2019-07-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1562647018215-JIDLMLPXJEGOTD54ATH1/CarlaRhodes_RareScavengers.jpg BPOTY Features - Beautiful Scavengers Greater Adjutant Stork ©Carla Rhodes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1562647099649-EFRSPLEGPVNOJ0BJGV3E/GreaterAdjutant_CarlaRhodes.jpg BPOTY Features - Beautiful Scavengers Greater Adjutant Storks line up at the Boragaon Landfill in Northeast India. ©Carla Rhodes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1562345695953-QNY7LN75BD8AW214BXVK/Purnima.jpg BPOTY Features - Beautiful Scavengers Purnima Devi Barman https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1562532174689-V4VFL9YT18WEKFX0LON6/CarlaRhodes_Credit_CharlesChessler_byline.jpg BPOTY Features - Beautiful Scavengers Carla Rhodes https://www.birdpoty.com/bpoty-featured-photographers/gambia-revisited monthly 0.5 2019-06-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1559919748510-V6UY0JU72CMBMNMR21P4/Paul+Sterry.jpg BPOTY Features - Gambia Revisited Paul Sterry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1559919170028-7LM8TBHN2Z6PAXAIO2Q4/162998.jpg BPOTY Features - Gambia Revisited The Northern Anteater-chat Myrmecocichla aethiops is associated with termite mounds and lives in family groups, members of which interact with one another in faintly comical ways.

Along the coastal strip of The Gambia it remains common for the moment, and the feeding station at Kotu Creek is a great place to see birds up close and personal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1559919367650-QITG3R5IEI4DMMLJYJTF/163013.jpg BPOTY Features - Gambia Revisited The African Harrier-hawk Polyboroides typus is one of the most conspicuous raptors in The Gambia and is particularly evident where light woodland sits alongside arable fields and rice paddies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1559919432155-SYXY9JN6ONLL1A07L1DW/163015.jpg BPOTY Features - Gambia Revisited A distant relative of woodpeckers, the Yellow-fronted Tinkerbird Pogoniulus chrysoconus is found in Acacia woodland. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1559919581006-1MPBX3XYWEDOSYLXAVQF/163070.jpg BPOTY Features - Gambia Revisited A Hooded Vulture Necrosyrtes monachus coming in to land at the Kotu Creek feeding station. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1559919490590-DROL7UF8SQ46ZU2342NN/163016.jpg BPOTY Features - Gambia Revisited Despite being common, the Speckled Pigeon Columba guinea is worth a second look if only to admire its subtly beautiful plumage. https://www.birdpoty.com/bpoty-featured-photographers/usa-highlights-from-the-bpoty019-shortlist-sa4ag monthly 0.5 2019-05-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1558706147884-Z0X8YK2YOOAG662ZPWD1/Jijjd8pTQuHTMnyzPoMf_DSC_3408.jpg BPOTY Features - USA Highlights from the BPOTY 2019 Shortlist https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1558706207832-1N3OPJ4E9RB81YU3IBNQ/S7W9kWcsRkKLVSGNKs9D__87I1612.jpg BPOTY Features - USA Highlights from the BPOTY 2019 Shortlist https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1558706284307-Z35X48IP5TJD9EDM4AYF/ABoX6a4pSFCg8GU3IB2s_BarredOwl-6505.jpg BPOTY Features - USA Highlights from the BPOTY 2019 Shortlist https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1558706949005-NQGV0J8H7L5RPHOILK9I/FVFpnqDTACdTzQraxIfq__D859408.jpg BPOTY Features - USA Highlights from the BPOTY 2019 Shortlist https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1558706392589-F6KQ9V1U6PPB7SL51QFV/FNOst3GLQCGcX3wUl0r8__03A3861.jpg BPOTY Features - USA Highlights from the BPOTY 2019 Shortlist https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1558707031386-CJ0GLMK2R5EXKY0KWGFB/Younf+BPOTY+Silver.jpg BPOTY Features - USA Highlights from the BPOTY 2019 Shortlist https://www.birdpoty.com/bpoty-featured-photographers/the-bermuda-petrel-bpoty-and-the-bermuda-audubon-society monthly 0.5 2019-07-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1558703453820-VDPHGS9JTV07UKDT5A8G/154949.jpg BPOTY Features - The Bermuda Petrel, BPOTY and the Bermuda Audubon Society Bermuda Petrel - Pterodroma cahow .

Having been out fishing, this charismatic penguin had a long climb back to the security of its colony, which was hidden behind the mountain tops. I have a lot of admiration for these small birds as they prevail in seemingly inhospitable environments. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1559571115411-3C1RHD2F5DDFJD2JNYHU/_EG_4484-2.jpg YBPOTY Judges - Megan McCubbin Adélies Dance Watching penguins interact with one another and their environment is fascinating. These two adopted this pose just seconds before the standing individual tried to steal a valuable nesting stone from the other. I like looking for simplicity in images, and sometimes by over-exposing a shot it can strip back all the unnecessary detail and focus attention on a specific element in the image, or highlight an interaction. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1559571192982-UM6MJ4LSBRKT6ASM7EG2/_EG_2507.jpg YBPOTY Judges - Megan McCubbin Mountain vs Adélie Adélies are the smallest and most widespread species of penguin in Antarctica. I wanted to take an image showcasing the contrast between these small birds and their vast environment. In a world that is getting smaller for wildlife by the second, I find it comforting to remind myself that we all play a small but critical role how ecosystems much bigger than ourselves function. We can all make a difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1559571277602-YELKX1HBJ1TKSA1HTJ63/_EG_2294.jpg YBPOTY Judges - Megan McCubbin Strike a Pose Gentoo Penguins are known for tilting their heads back and emitting a trumpeting sound to attract and communicate with mates. This male spent five minutes ‘performing’ to a nearby group. I lay just behind a snow bank to frame him against the pure white-out background as he took a break. I really like taking portraits of species, especially those in decline: the images can then become a powerful tool for conservation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1559571352316-TVVYZP47OAKF4OGB5UP3/_EG_5345.jpg YBPOTY Judges - Megan McCubbin Dive The image shows a Chinstap Penguin diving into the dark, aggressive waves without hesitation.

As you can probably imagine it was a pleasure rather than a challenge to spend time watching this Adélie resting and vocalising on an iceberg. https://www.birdpoty.com/ybpoty-judges/2019/3/26/chris-packham monthly 0.5 2019-03-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1553601187469-HH2RGDKNSSE59Z8HL2KD/chris+packham.jpg YBPOTY Judges - Chris Packham https://www.birdpoty.com/ybpoty-judges/2019/4/26/ben-porter monthly 0.5 2019-04-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1556367322048-KWBHXTC9PKXUR5TM4LLF/BenPorter2-2.jpg YBPOTY Judges - Ben Porter https://www.birdpoty.com/ybpoty-judges/2019/4/26/freya-coursey monthly 0.5 2019-05-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1556797764749-XJXKN59ZC2GYFIC0C0RB/Freya+Coursey.jpeg YBPOTY Judges - Freya Coursey https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1557901533809-4AFFPPBCCBS7A8DPZQ9E/Clouds+and+corvids.jpg YBPOTY Judges - Freya Coursey Clouds and corvids On a particularly beautiful evening, I decided to climb the hill behind my parents’ house. These Rooks were flying back to the rookery, and looked gorgeous silhouetted against this sunset. I used my 300mm lens to focus on this dramatic section of the sky and waited for a couple of Rooks to fly through it in order to capture this image. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1557901651673-V6HNO6M86MFW1GC7G0ZU/Gull+chicks+and+lichen.jpg YBPOTY Judges - Freya Coursey Gull chicks and lichen The Isle of May in the Firth of Forth is filled with fluffy chicks in the summer, creating fantastic opportunities for photos. However, you need to be careful not to approach them too closely in case you stress the parents. I was lucky enough to find these chicks waiting on an rocky outcrop covered in this beautiful bright yellow Caloplaca lichen. A parent returned soon after to deliver them an unrecognisable piece of meat…. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1557901754185-8R1BCLN6PWJ85NS9YGS1/Puffin+%281%29.jpg YBPOTY Judges - Freya Coursey Puffin portrait A few summers ago, I was lucky enough to spend a couple of weeks on the island of Mingulay in the Outer Hebrides to help carry out censuses on seabirds. I had the evenings off to do what I wanted, so of course I spent as much time as possible taking photographs! These Puffins were particularly photogenic, and not scared of humans, so I spent most evenings amongst them, enjoying their quiet humming calls. I took this photo with the setting sun behind the puffin, creating this slightly backlit image. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1557901798190-5D21N5V63LYNZ0IBC0GP/Robin.jpg YBPOTY Judges - Freya Coursey Singing Robin Evenings might be my favourite time to photograph, partly because I love the blue light, but also because I’m not a morning person! A few minutes after the sun set, I heard a robin singing his heart out. He was perched high above the surrounding vegetation, so I crouched low down to get some gorse in the foreground in order to frame the Robin. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1557901841759-5VFTN7L2XJDFUU0CRSZS/Tawny+owlet.jpg YBPOTY Judges - Freya Coursey Tawny owlet The late Eric Hosking, godfather of bird photography, famously lost an eye to a Tawny Owl.. This fact was certainly in my mind whilst I was taking this photo! Apart from that, it was a joy watching these owlets slowly work out how to use their wings. I had to work quickly though, as they would only become active half an hour before sunset. Due to the lack of light, this photo was taken with a relatively low shutter speed, requiring the use of a tripod. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1557901879252-HR9NY79ETSEL7NEYYDUS/Terns+squabbling.jpg YBPOTY Judges - Freya Coursey Terns squabbling. Arctic Terns are an absolute joy to watch. You can see why they’re nicknamed sea-swallows. They’re so agile and elegant in the air, despite their constant squabbling with neighbours and humans alike. Fortunately the sky was overcast, so correctly exposing this airborne argument wasn’t too much of a challenge. https://www.birdpoty.com/ybpoty-judges/2019/4/26/alfie-bowen monthly 0.5 2019-04-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1556369416333-RMGI74SWAM4FZ1ZFC33B/Alfie+Bowen.jpeg YBPOTY Judges - Alfie Bowen https://www.birdpoty.com/ybpoty-judges/2019/4/26/danielle-connor monthly 0.5 2019-04-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1556369887907-3D5V2BIEEOHY3I2WU01K/Danielle+Connor.jpg YBPOTY Judges - Danielle Connor https://www.birdpoty.com/young-bird-photographer-of-the-year-previous-winners daily 0.75 2019-03-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1553688679911-LZU9YLJ3QEQ5VTOIWPWH/YBPOTY+winner.jpg Young Bird Photographer of the Year previous winners - Young BPOTY 2018 GOLD Award Winner Crested Grebe Morning.

I was lucky enough to find these chicks waiting on an rocky outcrop covered in this beautiful bright yellow Caloplaca lichen. A parent returned soon after to deliver them an unrecognisable piece of meat…. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1557901754185-8R1BCLN6PWJ85NS9YGS1/Puffin+%281%29.jpg Young Bird Photographer of the Year News - Meet the Young BPOTY judges - Freya Coursey Puffin portrait A few summers ago, I was lucky enough to spend a couple of weeks on the island of Mingulay in the Outer Hebrides to help carry out censuses on seabirds. I had the evenings off to do what I wanted, so of course I spent as much time as possible taking photographs! These Puffins were particularly photogenic, and not scared of humans, so I spent most evenings amongst them, enjoying their quiet humming calls. I took this photo with the setting sun behind the puffin, creating this slightly backlit image. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1557901798190-5D21N5V63LYNZ0IBC0GP/Robin.jpg Young Bird Photographer of the Year News - Meet the Young BPOTY judges - Freya Coursey Singing Robin Evenings might be my favourite time to photograph, partly because I love the blue light, but also because I’m not a morning person! A few minutes after the sun set, I heard a robin singing his heart out. He was perched high above the surrounding vegetation, so I crouched low down to get some gorse in the foreground in order to frame the Robin. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1557901841759-5VFTN7L2XJDFUU0CRSZS/Tawny+owlet.jpg Young Bird Photographer of the Year News - Meet the Young BPOTY judges - Freya Coursey Tawny owlet The late Eric Hosking, godfather of bird photography, famously lost an eye to a Tawny Owl.. This fact was certainly in my mind whilst I was taking this photo! Apart from that, it was a joy watching these owlets slowly work out how to use their wings. I had to work quickly though, as they would only become active half an hour before sunset. Due to the lack of light, this photo was taken with a relatively low shutter speed, requiring the use of a tripod. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1557901879252-HR9NY79ETSEL7NEYYDUS/Terns+squabbling.jpg Young Bird Photographer of the Year News - Meet the Young BPOTY judges - Freya Coursey Terns squabbling. Arctic Terns are an absolute joy to watch. You can see why they’re nicknamed sea-swallows. They’re so agile and elegant in the air, despite their constant squabbling with neighbours and humans alike. Fortunately the sky was overcast, so correctly exposing this airborne argument wasn’t too much of a challenge. https://www.birdpoty.com/youngbpoty-news/2019/3/27/the-bpoty-exhibition-moves-to-wwt-london-wetland-centre-barnes monthly 0.5 2019-03-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1553692112685-P85RURE4LY4LICBB2M4O/Barnes.jpg Young Bird Photographer of the Year News - The BPOTY exhibition moves to WWT London Wetland Centre, Barnes.

New Zealand. Richard Sidey, New Zealand. 'My first encounter with New Zealand's rare and iconic freshwater duck, the Whio (Blue Duck). Whio live on fast-flowing clean rivers, and are an indicator of the river's health. Due to habit loss and introduced pests their numbers are under 3,000 and it is rare to see one. On this day I had spent several hours hiking the length of a remote valley on a hot summer's day with a heavy camera hoping to spot one. Nearing the end of my hike I took a swim in one of the beautiful deep river pools to cool off and dove deep to the bottom. When I surfaced moments later i almost collided with a Whio coming into land on the pool I was in, landing gear out and coming in at speed. We were both as surprised as each other, but the Whio quickly relaxed and climbed onto a rock just metres from me. Slowly I swam to the river's edge where my camera was resting, collected it and returned into the middle of the river, neck deep, where I was able to take this intimate, low-angle portrait of one of our most treasured species. The encounter lasted several minutes and has personally reinforced the urgency to protect our precious Whio.' https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1555959859590-0H268E90K1J4DUJ3LMD9/8UcuQNZCSRm8itmpKhvb.jpg Inspirational Encounters Shortlist - Whio New Zealand Blue Duck Hymenolaimus malacorhynchos.

Snowhill Island, Weddell Sea, Antarctica. Martin Grace, United Kingdom. 'Emperor. Penguin. Individually words of little distinction, but together an icon of near-mythical proportion. Flightless. The only bird that completely forgoes land. The march. The crazily dedicated parenting. Arguably the most difficult bird in the world to see. But forget for now the travel nightmare, the two days turbulent torture of the ‘never-again' Drake Passage, the teetering on the edge of will-we, won’t-we? Decades of aspiration are finally approaching a culmination. An unexpected route appears through storm-packed sea ice and Antarctica’s fickle summer opens a calm window of blue. This miraculous conspiracy permits no more than half an hour at the colony, including walking time from landing. Borrowed boots pinch, clothing is stiflingly excessive, frustration also boils as the camera tangles inside the rucksack. But actually having made it is too overwhelming, too emotional. I shoot a few images then put the camera away, and for fifteen minutes it is just me, the Emperors and heaven.' https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1555959860661-FT2TBLAWNUBXY4AFW55P/FSjCA5qrSlaX6FEbgoe8.jpg Inspirational Encounters Shortlist - Where are we going, Mom? Great Northern Diver (Common Loon) Gavia immer. Canada. Shirley Donald, Canada. 'The Common Loon (Gavia immer), with its haunting repertoire of calls and dances, symbolizes the northern outdoors for many Canadians. On a still, summer night, there is nothing to compare to listening to the loons calling across the water. Early in the morning we are sometimes treated to a territorial display, where with great effort and splashing they rise and dance on the surface of the lake. So, this past summer I was so pleased to find a loon's nest and to be able to watch the mama during her four-week vigil incubating her two eggs. I arrived early one morning to find two empty egg shells, a wonderful occurrence, as often one of the two does not hatch. Peace and quiet joy filled my heart when I spotted the two tiny chicks, safely riding on mama's back. Nature at its best.' https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1555959861901-NGLYB1MTLMWA8IHYEJSW/i1aLFfGCRUs2PNS9XVDd.jpg Inspirational Encounters Shortlist - Long-tailed Duck in a Snowstorm Long-tailed Duck Clangula hyemalis. Arctic Norway. Conrad Dickinson, United Kingdom. 'I very rarely get the chance to get close up views of Long Tailed Ducks where I live, and the occasional sightings are of very small specks off the Northumberland coast. So when the chance came to view long tailed ducks in Arctic Norway I jumped at the chance. "What time did you say"?..." What 0330, in the morning?" So I was up ready and had a snack breakfast and was standing at the harbours edge in the pitch black in -20C. The floating hide was equally dark, and lying on the concrete floor didn't add to the warmth. Light slowly appeared; and they started to arrive in small flocks; Stella's, King Eider, Common Eider, and finally Long tailed Duck. And then it snowed. Heavily! The cold, the location and the snow brought it magically into perspective when this totally serene and relaxed Long tailed Duck drifted into view; absolutely and beautifully at home in its environment. I was hooked.' https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1555959862008-N693POBPQ651HX3ZFLE1/l0QyJkoyTlSgPIyHBvqK_Kingfisher+preening.jpg Inspirational Encounters Shortlist - Kingfisher preening Common Kingfisher Alcedo atthis. Norfolk, United Kingdom. Vince Burton, United Kingdom. 'In the past I have spent a lot of time and driven many thousands of miles to photograph this beautiful bird. In the meantime, I have always been looking in my local areas for an opportunity to set up a hide and photograph a Kingfisher of my own. I have walked miles of ideal habitat, fallen in various rivers during adventurous crossing attempts. And when I've identified the perfect habitat and found resident Kingfishers, been turned down the opportunity to set up a hide by the landowners. After years of searching, I finally found a pair of Kingfishers on a local stretch of river less than a mile from my home. And even better, not only are the landowners happy for me to set up on their land, but were interested in what was going on and welcomed updates about the pair. This was an opportunity to study the pair, learn about the behaviour through the different seasons, and share with the landowners' children, educating them and encouraging them to enjoy and protect our wildlife. When setting up a hide, it has to be done carefully and over a period of time so as not to disturb your subject or scare it away. Being in the right place allows for perches to be slowly introduced and soon the pair were using these to fish from. Carefully a camera can be introduced and the birds became used to the sound of the shutter. To me there is nothing more rewarding than a subject choosing to be close to the hide and being so relaxed in your presence that it acts perfectly naturally. This was one of those first such images where the Kingfisher decided to land outside the hide and just sit and preen itself. It is an honour to be accepted by and to be in such close proximity to such a beautiful bird. These encounters I treasure and shall never forget.' https://www.birdpoty.com/supported-conservation-organisations daily 0.75 2019-04-26 https://www.birdpoty.com/supported-conservation-organisations/2019/3/11/information-collection-and-sharing-is-vital-in-the-fight-for-conservation-bpoty-support-the-work-of-national-biodiversity-network-nbn monthly 0.5 2019-05-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1552323020407-O4NHUG08QKLL0WC850SF/124336.jpg Supported Conservation Organisations - Information collection and sharing is vital in the fight for conservation - BPOTY supports the work of National Biodiversity Network (NBN).

It is still one of the world’s rarest waders, but captive breeding and reintroductions mean it now clings on to survival on a few predator-free islands. The entire world population numbers some 175 birds. ©Paul Sterry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1568904018208-WJ59U0ZMTNLY9TAWHZ8H/picture+2.jpg Conservation News - Introducing the new BPOTY Conservation Documentary Award Prior to human settlement the Kaka, and endearing parrot, was widespread in New Zealand but destruction of native forest habitat and mammalian predators means the population is now thought to number fewer than 10,000 birds. The best opportunities to see the species are on predator-free offshore islands and main island locations where intensive predator control is undertaken. ©Paul Sterry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1568904075836-J8R0ZY76127FBOT4HUGC/picture+3.jpg Conservation News - Introducing the new BPOTY Conservation Documentary Award Once widespread throughout New Zealand, the Black Stilt’s range has shrunk and numbers have plummeted to the point where the world population now numbers around 100 birds; and this includes captive birds that comprise part of a breeding programme. Habitat loss, predation and hybridisation with the more numerous Pied Stilt have contributed to its decline. In the wild, ‘genuine’ Black Stilts wear colour rings as badges of honour, testifying to their genetic purity. ©Paul Sterry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1568904136406-1LVVIBMW0AX441OP0LLI/picture+4.jpg Conservation News - Introducing the new BPOTY Conservation Documentary Award Unique to New Zealand, the Wrybill is the only bird in the world to have a laterally-curved bill, this unique adaptation allowing it to retrieve aquatic insect larvae from underneath stones in its braided river breeding haunts. The entire world population - 5-6,000 birds – is restricted to New Zealand and the species is most vulnerable when nesting; predation and flooding pose serious threats. ©Paul Sterry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1568904188863-EWY3K5MDSPE3N89NMERU/picture+5.jpg Conservation News - Introducing the new BPOTY Conservation Documentary Award For a period of 50 years or so the South Island Takahe (a bit like a giant, flightless Moorhen) was considered extinct until the discovery in 1948 of a tiny population in the Murchison Mountains. Since then ‘wild’ birds have been protected from predators as far as possible, and captive-bred birds have allowed the species’ introduction to predator-free islands and a few secure mainland sites. Locations include spots on North Island where they replace the now extinct North Island Takahe. ©Paul Sterry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1568904245892-OLBVWJE90BY5O5H5G9KJ/picture+6.jpg Conservation News - Introducing the new BPOTY Conservation Documentary Award The Tomtit is an example of a species that arguably has not fared to badly since human settlement. Habitat loss has probably caused the biggest reduction in numbers and range but it appears to have adapted quite well to a range of non-native habitats. ©Paul Sterry https://www.birdpoty.com/conservation-news/bird-photographer-of-the-year-and-the-bermuda-petrel-by-paul-sterry monthly 0.5 2019-08-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1563988930673-HMS5KGMYJWK2XK4GXRB9/154915+%281%29.jpg Conservation News -

This Swift is inspecting an old cottage roof to find a nesting space under its traditional tiles where three pairs went on to breed. Swift numbers, though, have fallen by 50% in the last 20 years in the UK, partly as the supply of suitable nest sites has fallen across the UK as old roofs are renovated and entrances are sealed, while newly built properties rarely offer nest space. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1576687791016-90IWXPWL6PJO3AFCTWR0/tqMzbpMHJMHhwuhMr.jpg Conservation Documentary Award - Entry 2 - Swift Conservation Fitting nest boxes of many kinds in churches and on many other buidings old and new, has really helped swift populations recover in several UK towns and villages.

Fairy tern’s population decline have been due to a combination of factors including habitat loss, disturbance at breeding sites, contamination, and increased predation from feral and introduced species (foxes, cats, and rats). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1576687319019-5H55VEZZHCW0B81LGXE9/Q5zbWiKJ2xfHWovZD.jpg Conservation Documentary Award - Entry 3 - Fairy Terns The most successful breading colony of fairy terns in the South West of Australia is also the most unique colony site. The colony is situated inside Western Australia’s largest and busiest general cargo port, the Port of Fremantle. Fairy terns were known to nest in the Fremantle area up until the 1950’s but stopped using the area due to habitat loss. The fairy terns returned in the mid 1990’s following the port expansion and land reclamation. However, the colony was unsuccessfully due to heavy machinery inadvertently driving through the nesting site. During the summer of 2012 fairy terns once again returned to the port following a second land reclamation and sea wall expansion. However, unlike in the 1990’s fairy terns had become listed as a protected species and the Port moved to protect the terns breeding colony. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1576687287070-J4Y94J2T552IAXYYAQB4/eZx5cbEQn4kokv9eW.jpg Conservation Documentary Award - Entry 3 - Fairy Terns The Port of Fremantle set up a permeant site for the fairy terns in 2014. This site was created by raising a 3,400m2 area with dredged material, topped with sandy shelly debris, in a section of the port adjacent to the sea wall. This allowed the colony to be well positioned for access to the ocean for baitfish, their primary food source, and to provide a suitable substrate for the terns to build their nest scrapes. Fairy tern dummies were made up by community members and deployed at the site to assist with attracting the terns to the new breeding site. At the end of 2014 the terns had arrived back to Fremantle and had set up a breeding colony in the newly created fairy tern sanctuary. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1576687333188-TQQ2FJSV0RPZITYUZP4M/vELgGjCbQ6hNQHKty.jpg Conservation Documentary Award - Entry 3 - Fairy Terns Fairy terns continued to return to the Rous head site in the years following 2014 and the site now has become the most productive of all the breeding colonies of the South Western Australia with an estimated 220 breeding pairs. Male Terns court the female tern by presenting the female with a whole fish in a coition display prior to mating and male terns continue to feed their mates while they incubate small clutches of usually 1-2 eggs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1576687303389-SI3ZT5AKKHX1FA656O5U/oE6m6XJivr9Mvaa9B.jpg Conservation Documentary Award - Entry 3 - Fairy Terns Fairy terns rear the chicks for about three weeks before the juvenile terns fledge. Although the breeding pair do alternate incubating the females typically incubate for longer than males. The male tern is the primary provider of food and it is thought that the success of the of the breeding pairs relies heavily on the provision effectiveness of the male. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1576687274181-91G741O5W4V1JK2EJZ24/8MiygTeAADDEomD4x.jpg Conservation Documentary Award - Entry 3 - Fairy Terns Despite the concerns about the location of the sanctuary, which included: that the site is too small, the noise and lights from 24 hour port operations would disturb the colony, and that it is too close to the main road entrance to the port, the colony has been very successful. This unusual site highlights that conservation and industry can work together to provide unique and novel solutions to conservation issues with successful outcomes. All it takes is some creative thinking and cooperation. https://www.birdpoty.com/conservation-documentary-award/entry-4-the-common-loon monthly 0.5 2019-12-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1576686789207-LB0LTXDKUVSBNP9J8NSF/ns26QGrNt6kSGTyui.jpg Conservation Documentary Award - Entry 4 - The Common Loon Blue water chick w adult facing each other July 1 The Common Loon, aka Great Northern Diver, is an iconic bird for Canada with 95% of the worlds pairs breeding on Canadian lakes. Is it any wonder they grace our $1 coin, the "Loonie" since 1987? Because of their position in the food chain and widespread distribution they are a strong indicator of the health of our lakes. Here a near two week old loon chick swims with an adult on the blue waters of such a lake. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1576686739060-UZ508U69LVPI2PA51PAY/8AaeFsdfjhADyH9u3.jpg Conservation Documentary Award - Entry 4 - The Common Loon Green water chick n adult July 8 Bird Studies Canada, a national science-based bird conservation organization, has been operating the Canadian Lakes Loon Survey gathering citizen science data collected across the country since the early 1990s. This year I joined the survey and registered the calm waters of Maple Lake, BC, where the photos of this loon chick with an adult were taken a week later. Data recorded over the breeding months are collected and analysed for several purposes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1576686828799-HA3S6NXLU3NUGWVI07YU/pPA98moZcqcXyF4dy.jpg Conservation Documentary Award - Entry 4 - The Common Loon Feeding fish July 12 While the survey results have shown fairly stable populations so far a longer term trend has appeared showing declining reproductive success. Things like pollution, acid rain and global warming are factors thought to be influencing this. In this photo the adult is delivering one of the many small fish needed to sustain the ravenous chick. Both parents were observed feeding the chick at the same time. Maple Lake may be at greater risk, being small and shallow its temperature rises quickly in summer and fish die offs could occur more easily. These higher temperatures are also known to increase the production of a contaminant called Methylmercury which decreases reproductive success. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1576686773333-2BM4FZFZ0IYJYGJWP5XO/HxvcYYzFKbfpG3FDf.jpg Conservation Documentary Award - Entry 4 - The Common Loon Crayfish approach Aug 7 Almost a month later and both parents are still bringing a variety of foods to the now juvenile bird who is shedding its baby down. 6 weeks is considered an important milestone as at 70% of the size and weight of an adult they are less susceptible to predation. Here the adult is bringing a Signal Crayfish as a breakfast entrée. Before passing this favorite food over the adult will strip it of claws and legs so it can be swallowed whole. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1576686849074-BWMIXW7FHJGKUBEO51SA/YRM7ABpSXCzRYTMgi.jpg Conservation Documentary Award - Entry 4 - The Common Loon Wing span juvenile Sept 6 As a citizen scientist and ambassador for these loons it is important to carry forward the word of not only the harms we have caused to nature but what actions we can take to reduce our impact, particularly as climate change and habitat loss are taking a significant toll on bird populations in North America and around the world. This early morning shot one week before this loon juvenile left Maple Lake not only shows the remarkable development of the bird and its wings...it is a celebration of life and challenges overcome. Last year both eggs observed in the single nest on the lake were destroyed by predators, likely otters or mink as both live here. As this chick grew there were multiple attempts by a resident eagle to snatch it for its own hungry chick. And yet against the odds it successfully left the lake, flying to the Salish Sea ten kilometers away, hopefully one day to find a lake of its own and start the cycle over again. https://www.birdpoty.com/conservation-documentary-award/entry-5-little-penguins monthly 0.5 2019-12-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1576686216888-O8SZ6FRVFMVGV2FK6GQP/2Wsnhm6NpnkwXJDRN.jpg Conservation Documentary Award - Entry 5 - Little Penguins Damage to the beaks of Little Penguins can be caused by entanglement in fishing nets and gear or predator attacks. This penguin’s lower beak is missing thereby restricting its ability to catch and hold onto fish in the wild. The act of being rescued, the intervention of veterinary treatment, followed by recovery care at the National Aquarium ensured its survival. There are numerous other names that Little Penguins/Eudyptula minor are known by including: Blue Penguin, Little Blue Penguin, White-flippered Penguin, Fairy Penguin, little blue penguin, blue penguin, fairy penguin, white-flippered penguin, and kororā/korora in Maori. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1576686277024-T9SUQ4HMQY22EU4QDLR1/sDPecEiQSww49ek65.jpg Conservation Documentary Award - Entry 5 - Little Penguins This Little Penguin is living at the National Aquarium of New Zealand due to an eye injury and is relaxing safely in the reconstructed beach habitat provided at Penguin Cove. The survival of unique and rare native birds of New Zealand through teams of trained staff in organisations such as the Department of Conservation, with help from volunteering New Zealanders and dedicated communities, along with sponsorship from many New Zealand businesses, and financial support from tourism and centres such as the National Aquarium cannot be underestimated. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1576686246629-5X2S87SSPTFZ4Q0249EN/pNuxXjtyQxJNu5PzN.jpg Conservation Documentary Award - Entry 5 - Little Penguins Little penguin (kororā in Maori)/Eudyptula minor, is a species native to New Zealand and South Australia. The species is most often commonly called Little Blue Penguin, a suitable name for the smallest penguin in the world with a distinctive blue colouring, only 25cm high and weighing a mere 1kg. The conservation status of Little Penguins in New Zealand is that they are at great risk and their numbers are in decline. New Zealand conservation initiatives to protect, save, and help to ensure the survival of these rare Little Penguins include rehabilitation centres such as the National Aquarium of New Zealand in Napier. Working closely with the Department of Conservation, the Aquarium team at Napier care for and rehabilitate injured, orphaned, or sick penguins. This series of photographs were taken in Penguin Cove at the National Aquarium to demonstrate why the Little Penguins were brought to the Aquarium, the causes and types of injuries they have, and the habitat created to aid their recovery or provide a permanent home. Just before feeding time at Penguin Cove these two Little Penguins are either playing or jostling to be first in the queue for their dinner. The penguin on the left has a missing eye. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1576686292820-6D6JK6R3VAKNMR02LP3Z/tkwyC9JEiPkfhgeLY.jpg Conservation Documentary Award - Entry 5 - Little Penguins Threats to the survival of Little Penguins include road kills and injuries (including from vehicles being driven on beaches and in river beds), entanglement in fishing nets and injuries caused by fishing gear, being hit by boats, and predators. Predators introduced to New Zealand by humans such as ferrets, stoats, cats, and dogs, are all capable of killing or maiming Little Penguins. The biggest threat is likely from dogs. Dog numbers have grown with increased coastal developments, and not all humans keep their dogs under control. Loose dogs on the beach are a threat when adult penguins come onto land in the evening, and as penguins nest in burrows that dogs can dig into, the are also a threat to successful breeding. This image is an example of how fencing and signs aimed at dog owners are used to help protect wildlife beach habitats from dogs. Fencing also helps prevent penguins from wandering across the road, most often when they nest on the other side of sections of coast roads and cross to their burrows in the evening to feed chicks. This example fence is at Punakaiki, West Coast, South Island and was constructed as a project between the West Coast Penguin Trust and the Department of Conservation. The numbers of Little Penguins is declining in areas where there is no predator control. Where some predator control has been introduced, such as fenced beaches or on islands, the stability of penguin population is more likely but not entirely ensured. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1576686229871-FBVS7WF9MR0VP2VYXRE9/opHmS6QP37qvipNk2.jpg Conservation Documentary Award - Entry 5 - Little Penguins The flippers of Little Penguins are like paddles that enable the penguins to fly through water at speeds up to 6 km per hour!. To lose or have an injuries to one or both flippers severely impacts their ability to swim and survive in the wild and can lead to a penguin requiring permanent care in captivity. The penguin in the centre of the photograph has had one flipper torn off, just behind that penguin is one with the lower beak missing, and at the back is a penguin with it’s eye missing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1576686260237-0T03MK1FKG5UF15FSLJC/poesozgsmT7pJ4eCL.jpg Conservation Documentary Award - Entry 5 - Little Penguins Some Little Penguins are brought to the National Aquarium as abandoned chicks, when they are suffering from a sickness and need care in safety to recover, have partial sight, or have been attacked by dogs. Those that have grown into healthy adult penguins, or recovered from an illness or injury and capable of surviving unaided, are returned to the wild where possible. Those that need ongoing lifetime care stay at the Aquarium. The National Aquarium is next to the sea and has a continuous supply of fresh salt water to maintain Penguin Cove as a recreated natural habitat free from chemicals, much better for the health of the resident penguins than water with additives. This Little Penguin is looking forward to diving into the fresh salt water provided! https://www.birdpoty.com/conservation-documentary-award/entry-6-australian-owls monthly 0.5 2019-12-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1576685592923-91PXX1PIIGPPXAF3QQPV/98NFM47F2jRxeLN2Q.jpg Conservation Documentary Award - Entry 6 - Australian Owls Australia's endless desire for land clearing is putting all our native species at risk, including owls. 10 of our 11 species of owl require large hollow bearing trees in order to breed. When large masses of forest are being cleared; not every tree is checked for life and is not until the machines stop and someone takes the time to walk through an area that they lay witness to the destruction that is never spoken about. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1576685642982-5JUOR2G3YE4MZ2MDL81F/ix8LWQkeNxRAC3tiY.jpg Conservation Documentary Award - Entry 6 - Australian Owls Eastern Grass Owls call areas such as wetlands home and are Australia's only ground nesting owl species. As their wetlands disappear through land clearing they have adapted to other environments such as agricultural lands; often nesting in sugar cane and maize crops where they can control rodent populations. However with this comes other issues as when these crops are harvested in puts nests in danger and pushes the birds onto roads where they fall victim to car strikes or die of injuries causing by farming equipment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1576685577735-HKQ0LZRML1R1AE9OJIL8/3NTD5QtG5GQ8Rz46s.jpg Conservation Documentary Award - Entry 6 - Australian Owls Whilst the Australian Boobook is the smallest owl species found in Australia; they are suffering through land clearing and habitat fragmentation. This is pushing birds to their limits as they now have to hunt in a new environment; an urban one. As the move throughout what was once lush forest is now a highway of no return for some individuals. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1576685621368-80RWW1QXUS910370QIG9/EWpYorbSxwWkCgqc9.jpg Conservation Documentary Award - Entry 6 - Australian Owls Eastern Barn Owls have become victims to over-use of rodenticides when more education is required to tell the public they are a natural form of rodent control. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1576685659802-WEXKAVNVPXC83326ZG1Z/YaBsvkChigAZuDcfg.jpg Conservation Documentary Award - Entry 6 - Australian Owls Rodenticides are the slow release killers of our owl species. They build up within the owls blood system and slowly kill them from the inside. As the poisons take control, the owls become weaker. They start acting weird, they start looking for food that is easier to catch. Roadkill becomes an option even for secretive species such as this Australian Masked Owl who met its demise attending to a dead rat on the road. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1576685606449-UUCU38RHR79W1Q2EJOHP/EHKgxMRfe92T4o2ia.jpg Conservation Documentary Award - Entry 6 - Australian Owls A Powerful Owl lies "powerless" as it succumbs to a car strike. Australia's largest owl measuring 65cm tall and a wingspan of 1.5 metres is no match for an oncoming vehicle. These threatened species have adapted well to an urban landscape but there is a high price to pay for living here. Owls that live in urban environments have a higher mortality rate than those living in undisturbed forests. https://www.birdpoty.com/conservation-documentary-award/entry-7-urban-ringing monthly 0.5 2019-12-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1576685089686-CI9G3CH9KEOHRLLLMCFR/dmpsMYBG9dCZ7M7rn.jpg Conservation Documentary Award - Entry 7 - Urban Ringing A trained bird ringer from the NGO Nature Kenya extracts a Passerine from a mist net at a ringing station in the National Museum of Kenya, on September 17, 2019 in Nairobi, Kenya.

I arrived at the location just prior to sunrise and decided to head to the rocks at the edge of the shoreline. Just after sunrise, this juvenile eagle launched from the shadows of the trees and pulled a shad out of the water. After the eagle grabbed his meal, he took his head and turned it under his body to make sure had the fish in his talons. I love the dark shadows in the image and spot light on the eagle. For many decades, bald eagles were hunted for sport and for the "protection" of fishing grounds. Pesticides like DDT also wreaked havoc on eagles and other birds. Since DDT use was heavily restricted in 1972, eagle numbers have rebounded significantly and have been aided by reintroduction programs.
