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.

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.

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.

This Grey Heron was photographed as the sun rose above the treeline on the opposite bank of the lake. By using masks and layers it was possible to emphasise the spotlight effect on the bird, creating an image with more impact. A closer crop was also applied. The original camera file is shown below. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1584178711973-D3H1LOEPXF8VANDWJ0XJ/_DSC5883.jpg BPOTY Features - Digital manipulation – where to draw the line?

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. Many birds are tundra-nesters, breeding inside the Arctic Circle and northern individuals, males in particular, tend to have bolder and better-defined dark underparts. ©Paul Sterry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1569676612264-9L80718UHOS28792MKM3/image+4.jpg BPOTY Features - Pity the poor plover Newly arrived in southern England from its northern breeding grounds this juvenile Golden Plover faces another threat: outside the breeding season – in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland – it is classed as a ‘quarry species’ and can be shot between September 1 and January 31. 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. At this time of year the species forms flocks. These tend not to mix freely with other species although the occasional Lapwing may join them if birds are spooked by a Peregrine. ©Paul Sterry https://www.birdpoty.com/bpoty-featured-photographers/bpoty-conservation-documentary-award-saving-the-bermuda-petrel monthly 0.5 2019-09-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1569428878469-CSQFYWK1MJGFP4ADWRZZ/picture+1.jpg BPOTY Features - BPOTY Conservation Documentary Award - Saving the Bermuda Petrel Once an abundant breeder on Bermuda the Cahow’s demise began with the arrival of Man and by 1620 it was assumed to be extinct. 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.

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.

Judges will be looking for a selection of images that show extensive technical control and creativity of the photographer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1633374007004-GJ2AEQ7678IT29HKYL5K/video.jpg Categories - Video Award For this award, you are invited to submit a max 3 minute video of which the subject matter is birds. Judges will be looking for good sequences of shots, rather than a collection of standalone clips. The focus here is strong cinematography and camera skills, although having a story and strong narrative is a bonus. Note: This award is open to videographers with 3 or fewer major broadcast credits (national or international broadcast). You must be aged 18 or more to enter this award. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1608223755993-LXHDT58DURN90L8VHS59/MDnbyWDZu2vdmq7ey.jpg Categories - Conservation Award Enter up to 6 images as a collection that tell a conservation story.

Lake Kerkini, Greece. Photographer: Caron Steele, United Kingdom. Category: Best Portrait. PEOPLE’S CHOICE CATEGORY WINNER, GOLD AWARD WINNER AND BIRD PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE YEAR WINNER. Photographer's Story: ‘On arriving in Greece to photograph the Dalmatian Pelicans in their breeding plumage I discovered that Lake Kerkini, their favoured haunt, had frozen for the first time in 16 years; all the pelicans had flown off. Fortunately, a few holes started to thaw in the lake and the birds slowly began to return. Unused to the slippery icy surface of the lake they regaled us with hilarious antics as they slid across the lake surface trying to retain control as they took off and landed. I was lucky enough to capture one such rare moment when this magnificent pelican ran towards me across the ice at dusk before taking off. It was a truly unique experience, both magical and comical at the same time.

The intertidal zone is also a good feeding area for seabirds, and so a lot of gulls and herons gather because of the abundance of life. I waited for many days to get the perfect combination of elements for the photo I had in mind: still water at low tide, beautiful clouds and of course the birds. I took this photo using a drone and the magic lasted just a short time before the rising tide altered the scene.’ DJI drone with FC6310 built-in camera. 8.8mm (equivalent to 24mm) focal length; 1/500 second; f/6.3; ISO 800. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1565351444382-YY4I812SSUWDUWY1UP06/Attention+to+Detail+Gold+Award+Winner.jpg BPOTY 2019 Winners - PAL HERMANSEN - ATTENTION TO DETAIL GOLD Northern Goshawk - Accipiter gentilis.

Photographer's Story: ‘Small natural pools deep into the rainforest make a perfect place for hummingbirds to have a quick bath. I was blessed to witness this behaviour in Costa Rica early one morning. The birds hover over the water for a little time and then make small dips beneath the surface. I was able to capture the moment as a Purple-crowned Fairy left the water.

Ocean City, New Jersey, United States of America. Photographer: Nikunj Patel, United States of America. Category: Birds in Flight. GOLD AWARD WINNER. Photographer's Story: ‘Black Skimmers are one of my favourite birds and I love spending time in the summer observing and photographing them. Skimmers have a light and elegant flight, with steady wingbeats. They fly low over water and dip their lower mandible just below the surface, feeling for tiny fish and snapping them up with deadly speed, and making high-speed turns in mid-flight. On a nice summer evening, I arrived at a colony of nesting seabirds on a beach to photograph Black Skimmers flying in, bringing fish for the new-born chicks. I decided to set up low on the beach as it would give me an eye-level perspective with the birds. A few skimmers had gathered at the edge of the shoreline and were having a vigorous bathing session. As some of them took off, I saw one flying low and straight towards me. Luckily, I was able to acquire focus, press the shutter and capture a beautiful image of the bird flying straight at me. Black Skimmers rely on open beaches for nesting and raising their young, with direct access to the water for feeding. Coastal development and our own love of the same beaches have left them with few safe places to nest. The image was captured in the summer of 2018 at Ocean City, New Jersey, USA. The Black Skimmer is an endangered species in the state of New Jersey.’ Nikon D850 with Nikon 600mm f/4 lens. 600mm focal length; 1/3,200 second; f/5.6; ISO 250.

On this morning, I returned to the same area and could not believe what I was seeing... an all-white Snowy Owl on a quaint white church! Trying to focus on a white owl set against a very light backdrop proved to be very difficult.

When we visit colonies of Puffins on their nesting cliffs it is easy to get the impression that they are abundant. But all too soon that may be no more than an illusion, their numbers declining as a result of the actions of man. When working in manual mode it is not easy to get the desired setting.

Hertfordshire, United Kingdom. Photographer: Ben Andrew, United Kingdom. Category: Best Portrait. SILVER AWARD WINNER. Photographer's Story: ‘This image of a bold young Kingfisher was taken during the winter months. The bird spent time in the middle of a town centre, fishing around ornamental water gardens that are surrounded by shops, roads and a car park. The Kingfisher regularly spent time perched on railings waiting to plunge into the water below. This spot was right next to the bus stop, so I positioned myself looking along the railings and waited for a bus to arrive. Luckily the buses in the town are blue in colour perfectly matching the Kingfisher’s plumage. So it was just a matter of waiting and hoping a bus came along with its lights on while the bird was sitting there!’ Nikon D800 with Nikon 200-400mm f/4 lens. 400mm focal length; 1/200 second; f/4; ISO 1,250.

Balgoij, The Netherlands. Photographer: Edwin Giesbers, The Netherlands. Category: Birds in the Environment. SILVER AWARD WINNER. Photographer's Story: ‘Most owl species lead a solitary life, but when autumn makes its appearance, Long-eared Owls are sometimes more gregarious. From September to April, some birds sleep in close proximity to one another during the daytime in so-called roost trees; in some cases these trees have been used for decades. Who knows, they could be in your neighbourhood because often these roost trees are located in residential areas. Trees like Beech and Silver Birch are used in autumn. But as these trees lose their leaves, the birds often move to a nearby Yew or fir where they are less noticeable than in a bare tree.’ Nikon D750 with Nikon 24-85mm AF lens. 80mm focal length; 1/100 second; f/6.3; ISO 1,000.

Photographer's Story: ‘It had been a long night, lodged in a hide set up for nocturnal species. After those long dark hours packed with action photography the breaking dawn presented a real treat. A Little Egret in wonderful breeding plumage stopped by and was standing at close range in the golden light of dawn reflected on the water’s surface. The elongated scapular feathers covered the bird like a gown in the lovely morning light. Instead of using wide-angle, I looked for a composition with my telephoto lens to try to record a different kind of image.’ Nikon D7200 with Nikon 300mm f/2.8 AF-S VR lens. 300mm focal length; 1/640 second; f/7.1; ISO 1,600.

Photographer's Story: ‘Recently I visited a fish-farm near Kanjiza in the northern Serbian province of Vojvodina. As you can imagine, the abundance of corralled fish acts like a magnet for fish-eating birds such as the Grey Heron. This particular individual caught my eye: despite its size and bulk it was doing an extremely good job balancing on one of the fishing nets.

Photographer's Story: ‘I was at Laratinga Wetlands in South Australia in April 2018. I initially went to photograph waterfowl when I noticed dozens of Welcome Swallows diving about the surface of the water. I am attracted to the challenge of shooting birds in flight and swallows present the ultimate challenge due to their small size and quick, erratic flight. There was a beautiful mist so I decided to shoot backlit against a dark background (trees in shade on opposite bank) and try to capture some of the atmosphere. I used the ‘spray and pray’ approach to photography (ie rapid frame rate and loads of pictures) and needed a lot of luck to get this shot.’ Canon EOS 1DX MkII with Canon EF 600mm f/4L IS II USM lens. 600mm focal length; 1/5,000 second; f/5.6; ISO 160.

Ontario, Canada. Photographer: Meera Sulaiman, Canada. Category: Garden and Urban Birds. SILVER AWARD WINNER. Photographer's Story: ‘This part of Lake Ontario is regarded as the biggest toxic coal-tar deposit in Canada, a by-product of more than 100 years of industrial waste. Its claim to fame is being the largest and most contaminated site on the Canadian side of the Great Lakes. However, it is also a winter home for Trumpeter Swans. These North American natives are the largest of their kind in the world and one of the heaviest flying birds; weighing up to 30 pounds they are held aloft on a wingspan of eight feet. Around 200 swans gather here every winter. Trumpeter Swans once nested over most of North America and some estimates placed their numbers, historically, at more than 100,000. But by the 1880s they were almost hunted out of existence and were locally extinct in Ontario, Canada. The Trumpeter Swan’s reintroduction to Ontario has been a story in the making for more than 30 years. I started to document this wonderful species three years ago after being moved by their recovery story.’ Canon EOS 5D MkIII with Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM lens. 200mm focal length; 1/1,600 second; f/9; ISO 1,000. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1565353465859-VVTO969YJT0IRIOB3TKQ/Creative+Imagery+Silver+Award+Winner.jpg BPOTY 2019 Winners - KATHRYN COOPER - CREATIVE IMAGERY SILVER Mixed Seabirds.

The sheer number of birds in the air is a true wildlife spectacle and difficult to depict in a photograph.

Photographer's Story: ‘A Southern White Rhino continues grazing unaware of the bounty on its head, as a Western Cattle Egret searches for insects flushed from the grass. This is a truly commensal relationship. The Rhino is indifferent to the presence of the bird, while the egret benefits from the Rhino’s movement and foraging: it unwittingly disturbs insects concealed in the grass. For me, the image is such an emotive depiction: a juxtaposition between dark and light, hope and uncertainty. While the Cattle Egret takes centre stage the Rhino can be see fading into the background, indicative of the species’ rapid decline.’ Canon EOS 7D MkII with Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM lens. 562mm focal length; 1/2,000 second; f/6.3; ISO 500.

Photographer's Story: ‘I was travelling in South America last year and visited the Argentinian side of Iguasu Falls. The whole spectacle was more magnificent than I expected. After the hype, so often things are disappointing; but Iguasu was overwhelming. And it was made better still by the Great Dusky Swifts – there were just so many of them.

Photographer's Story: ‘This image shows the very finest feathers - the down - on a male Sparrowhawk's breast. A fresh road casualty in a busy urban space, I rescued this male Sparrowhawk from the side of the road, hoping to share the beauty of the bird and his feathers. It was important to me to keep the bird in as natural a light as possible, so I took my picture outdoors in dappled sunlight on a slightly breezy day. Soft winds were ruffling the down, and I used a fast shutter speed to ensure good focus, but still retain a hint of movement. I wanted that swirling softness.

Yasuni National Park, Ecuador. Photographer: Liron Gertsman, Canada. Category: Birds in Flight. BRONZE AWARD WINNER. Photographer's Story: ‘Scattered throughout the Amazon basin are hundreds of clay licks where parrots, parakeets and macaws come to eat clay and neutralize the acidic fruits that they eat. Getting to the clay lick (and watering hole) where I took this photo required a regional flight, a three-hour boat ride upstream, and a short canoe ride to get to base camp. From base camp, it took another short boat ride and a 30 minute hike (a longer hike than usual due to low water levels in July 2017) each day to get to the clay lick. It took many hours of waiting over three days before we were treated to the sight of hundreds of Cobalt-winged Parakeets raining down on the forest floor. Seeing them and hearing the deafening roar of parakeet chatter was an experience I don’t think I’ll ever forget. After they drank the mineral rich-water and ate some clay, it was over; this photo captures the chaos as the parakeets took to the air, heading back to the canopy. I used a slow shutter speed to convey movement as the birds took to the air.’ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1565353899622-3XFDEBRJ4MNF9KQ95SUB/Garden+and+Urban+Birds+Bronze+award+Winner.jpg BPOTY 2019 Winners - MARTIN ESCHHOLZ - GARDEN AND URBAN BIRDS BRONZE Long-tailed Duck Clangula hyemalis.

That is the first impression when visiting the Varanger Peninsula in the Arctic north of Norway in winter. But a surprisingly amount of colour can be found too, especially in the region's various harbours. The port of Vardø is a working fishing harbour attracting several species of wintering sea ducks. One of the most fascinating is the Long-tailed Duck and at first glance it looks too feebly built to survive in the arctic. But the reality is that it can cope perfectly. A bit of extra food like offal from a fish factory comes in handy and that is the reason these birds swim between the harbour's colourful reflections.’ Canon EOS 7D MkII with Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM lens and 2x converter. 400mm focal length; 1/800 second; f/9; ISO 1,600.

Snowhill Island, Weddell Sea, Antarctica. Martin Grace, United Kingdom. Category: Inspirational Encounters Award. GOLD AWARD WINNER. ‘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, and 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/1565355256628-LUKGEM8OED55DR05Y45Z/Young+BPOTY+Gold+Award+Winner.jpg BPOTY 2019 Winners - TAMAS KONCZ-BISZTRICZ - YOUNG BPOTY GOLD Mallard Anas platyrhynchos. Hungary. Photographer: Tamás Koncz-Bisztricz, Hungary. YOUNG BIRD PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE YEAR GOLD AWARD WINNER. Photographer's Story: ‘It’s late winter, and Hungary’s soda lakes are full of life, both above and below the surface of the water. These lakes are a sanctuary for a wide variety of water birds including Eurasian Teal, Eurasian Spoonbill, Great Egret, Greylag Goose, Greater White-fronted Goose, Common Black-headed Gull, Mediterranean Gull, Eurasian Coot, Grey Heron, and other birds. There is a nice, but unknown hidden lake between the village of Tömörkény and Pálmonostora. It is surrounded by reeds and sedges and therefore it is impossible to observe and photo the diverse life it harbours without causing disturbance. I took this aerial photograph by a remotely controlled drone which causes almost no disturbance when used properly: the shape, colour and sound of this machine do not correspond to any predator. I used a special technique to slowly approach the birds from very high altitude, the same method used by conservation experts to count the population of the birds for scientific purposes. Here we can see wild Mallards stirring up the muddy water and leaving lines in the water, coloured yellowish-brownish by organic materials. Sometimes you can see a purple tinge to the water, the result of organic matter released from decomposing reeds. The sparkling colour pallet of the image in the photograph is also influenced by the blue sky and the reflection of white clouds on the water surface.’ DJI drone with inbuilt DJI FC300C camera.

Photographer's Story: ‘Last spring, I went for another visit to my beloved Arctic - to the Svalbard archipelago, a place that I love with a passion. There, I was honing a photography technique that could be called ‘extreme overexposure’. All you need is a white animal and a white background, and then dial-in extreme exposure compensation (+ four stops in this case). Of course then you need some patience. But the results are truly unique: you are left with a kind of pencil sketch, in which most details of the bird and the background disappear.’ Nikon D500 with Nikon 500mm f/4G ED AF-S VR lens. 500mm focal length; 1/800 second; f/4; ISO 800. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1565355795475-YU1UV2JTBXXGP9JE6CXQ/Best+Portrait+Honourable+Mention+2.jpg BPOTY 2019 Winners - YASHODHAN BHATIA - BEST PORTRAIT Little Swift Apus affinis. Rajkot, Gujarat, India. Photographer: Yashodhan Bhatia, India. Category Best Portrait. HONOURABLE MENTION. Photographer's Story: ‘Those small dark profiles, flying with super-fast manoeuvres in the sky, are swifts or swallows. Identifying them is a challenge unless you have a good look at them. Of course they do differ, only slightly in size or in details of plumage. All of them are adapted for high speed flight, thanks to slender, streamlined bodies, short necks, long pointed wings and small beaks. These all adaptations are for hunting insects in mid-air at breakneck speeds. I found a small colony of Little Swifts under a bridge on a state highway and thought of spending time with them to get some unusual perspectives. It took me four sessions in two days and numerous pictures to get the desired result. I was amazed at how these tiny birds have truly mastered flight. While gliding, they continually change the shape of their wings, albeit very subtly, and optimize their aerodynamic performance to control lift, thrust, drag and what not.’ Nikon D5 with Nikon 500mm f/4 FL ED VR lens. 500mm focal length; 1/3,200 second; f/5.6; ISO 640.

I was photographing a preening pelican that had been swimming in a tourist area lake. The water in the lake is very dark and exposing for the white feathers made the background even darker. The pelican removed a feather which stuck to its bill. It opened its bill and shook to remove the feather.

But instead, suddenly this young female pitta jumped out from the bush and landed on the log in front of me. I wasn’t prepared for its sudden appearance and scrambled to adjust my lens focus; this bird caught a cricket from the ground, and fortunately I got the focus spot-on in time and released my shutter. The pitta was pretty close, thanks to the hide, and this allowed me to capture the intimate details of the bird with its food.

Photographer's Story: ‘I spent time in the spring taking part in an offshore seabird survey on a research vessel in the North Sea. Our boat was regularly followed by small flocks of Black-legged Kittiwakes and some of them even landed on the vessel’s mast where they occasionally spent some time resting. Typically, the observers sat in an open shelter close to the mast, counting seabirds on transect lines for several hours continuously. So the gulls were used to our presence and sometimes came very close, resting next to where we were sat. The bird in the picture was one of these bold individuals, relaxing for a while with the vessel’s mast close by. Having my camera with me during the seabird counts, I was lucky enough to capture the perfect moment when this little beauty closed its eyes for a short siesta on the boat, innocently bowing its head at the same time.’ Canon EOS 1D MkII with Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS USM lens and 1.4x converter. 420mm focal length; 1/125 second; f/5; ISO 500.

Doradal, Antioquia, Colombia. Bernardo Hernández Sierra, Columbia. Category: Attention to Detail. COMMENDED. Photographer's Story: ‘This photograph was taken in the rural area of Doradal, Antioquia in June 2012. This area is characterized by its rich biodiversity, including a wide variety of birds; Columbia is after all the country with the largest number of bird species in the world. This Scarlet Macaw was in a tree and when I realised I could make a close approach: I switched from my telephoto lens to a macro lens to capture the details of its colourful feathers.’ Canon EOS 550D with Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro USM lens. 100mm focal length; 1/320 second; f/2.8; ISO 400.

Lake Kerkini, Greece. Lakshitha Karunarathna, Sri Lanka. Category: Attention to Detail. COMMENDED. Photograher’s Story: ‘When people think of Lake Kerkini, the immediate image that is conjured up is one of this location’s amazing Dalmatian Pelicans. But Great White Pelicans are also present and this close-up shows a bird in breeding plumage. I composed the image with eye off-centre and this had the added benefit of showing off the gorgeous feather colouring to best effect. Looking at the bird in detail, it is anything but white.’ Canon EOS 5DS R with Canon EF 400mm f/2.8L IS II USM lens. 400mm focal length; 1/640 second; f/6.3; ISO 400. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1565785080974-CAGN1HVP75AB1AOSQBQL/f6enV4SAQYmacGfksOOE_BPOTY-45.jpg BPOTY 2019 Winners - Kevin Morgans Walking Away Black Grouse Lyrurus tetrix. Norway. Kevin Morgans, United Kingdom. Category: Attention to Detail. COMMENDED. Photographer's Story: ‘I had endured a particularly cold night in a small canvas hide as I waited in anticipation of a unique dawn chorus. As the light started to lift, the distinctive bubbling calls of the Black Grouse started to filter through the cold, crisp air. At first the light was almost too low to work. But when it did lift I noticed this beautifully unique yet slightly abstract composition: the arched tail feathers of a male Black Grouse. It was an image that cried out for a symmetrical approach, its even tones enhanced by the reflected light bouncing off the snow-covered ground.'

Hemel Hempstead, United Kingdom. Rachel Piper, United Kingdom. Category: Attention to Detail. COMMENDED. Photographer's Story: ‘The sun was shining on the path of the Grand Union Canal, catching water droplets on scattered Mute Swan feathers in its rays. This just had to be captured through my lens! To find the desired angle and take my photographs against a dark background, I chose to lift this particularly feather and very carefully hold it between the tips of my fingers. This was no mean feat as the water rolled from one edge to the other. But thankfully I succeeded and I am thrilled to be able to share my image with you!’ Canon EOS 6D with Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM lens. 100mm focal length; 1/640 second; f/2.8; ISO 1,000.

The Saltee Islands, Ireland. Mario Suárez Porras, Spain. Category: Attention to Detail. COMMENDED. Photographer's Story: ‘In the south of Ireland there are a group of islands that are a real sanctuary for birds: these are The Saltee Islands. They are home to one of the most important colonies of Northern Gannets. The picture shows a detailed section of the plumage and head of one individual as it snoozes. The Gannet’s white feathers and its flight have always suggested to me what the vision of angel might be like. As the island is uninhabited the Gannets are very trusting and don´t show any fear of human presence. They allowed me to get near enough to be able to obtain this close and intimate image.’ Canon EOS 7D MkII with Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS II USM lens and 1.4x converter. 420mm focal length; 1/2,000 second; f/7.1; ISO 320. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1565785084132-G1SPNYWWXMY0VH2201VM/lFGIltFTNK7n5nP4NEz1__DSC5394.jpg BPOTY 2019 Winners - Alejandro Prieto Rojas Waterproof Blue-footed Booby Sula nebouxii. San Pedro Mártir Island, Mexico. Alejandro Prieto Rojas, Mexico. Category: Attention to Detail. COMMENDED. Photographer's Story: ‘In November 2018 I was lucky enough to take part in an expedition to San Pedro Mártir Island. It was an assignment for IUCN (International Union for the Conservation of Nature) and the aim of the expedition was to document the wildlife of this IUCN site, which is on their Green List of Protected and Conserved Areas. As a testament to the island’s importance in 2005 it received the honour of being classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. San Pedro Mártir Island is home to one of the largest Blue-footed Booby colonies in the world. They are everywhere you look. The texture of their waterproof plumage fascinated me and inspired this close-up image that includes a thirsty fly sipping the booby’s tears.’ Nikon D850 with Nikon 200-400mm f/4 lens. 400mm focal length; 1/500 second; f/14; ISO 800.

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/1565847026155-JSVSS86YXWWEPDP55XZI/i1aLFfGCRUs2PNS9XVDd.jpg BPOTY 2019 Winners - Conrad Dickinson 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/1565847026764-H8E549BO3KXBQ9ZMYUWA/l0QyJkoyTlSgPIyHBvqK_Kingfisher+preening.jpg BPOTY 2019 Winners - Vince Burton 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/young-bpoty-winners-gallery-2019 daily 0.75 2019-09-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1568305578719-S8LM7BPXWR73UTC0P4G9/Young+BPOTY+Gold+Award+Winner.jpg Young BPOTY Winners Gallery 2019 ©Tamás Koncz-Bisztricz - 2019 Young Bird Photographer of the Year winner https://www.birdpoty.com/bpoty-2018-winners daily 0.75 2019-10-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1572260327222-00C2YZJ9WKAS4Q3D2J0X/bpoty+winner1.jpg BPOTY 2018 Winners ‘‘Black Friday’.

Jurong Bird Park, Singapore.David Easton, Singapore. Category: Attention to Detail. GOLD AWARD WINNER.This was taken at Singapore’s Jurong Bird Park, in the open enclosure that Western Crowned-pigeons share with avariety of tropical canopy birds. I wanted to capture the bright sun illuminating the crown of feathers, but had to wait awhile until the pigeon turned its head in such a way that they really stood out.

But there was still quite a bit of swell, which was proving a challenge. Northern Gannetshunt pelagic fish like Mackerel and Herring by diving into the sea from a height of up to 30m, achieving speeds up to 100kph onimpact. These days, they often feed on fishery discards, and with a discard ban introduced two years ago across Europe they may beaffected.

I visited again on the Thursday, this timeremembering the egret might be there – and it was. I managed to get a few shots of it taking flight and realised how stunning the photoslooked with the almost black background.

However, they do that with great precision and elegance, which is clearly evident by freezing the action with a fast shutter speed. I spent a few days in Iceland in 2017, and after locating a flock of Red-necked Phalarops at Lake Myvatn, I just had to lie down on the shore to get a low point of view.

PEOPLE’S CHOICE AWARD WINNER.A long time ago I noticed that ploughed soil attracts European Robins in the winter months, where they can feed on worms and invertebrates unearthed andrevealed by turning the soil. So, this February, while I was digging the soil of a small field in my village, Ekklisoxori, in northwest Greece, I had two goals in mymind: to prepare the earth for the new crop of potatoes; and to set up my hide there in order to photograph the robins that would appear, hoping to find aneasy meal. The image that I had in my mind included a forgotten pitchfork, the element of the human presence in the photo, and a robin that was trying tosnatch a worm. But in order to have both the robin and the farming tool in focus, I moved an unearthed worm to the right position, next to the tool.Nikon D4S with Nikkor 70–200mm f/2.8 lens.

BRONZE AWARD WINNER.I have been photographing a little-known Black Skimmer colony for yearsand this is my favourite photo taken in all that time. Every year I select a nestwhen the parents are sitting on eggs, and then follow that same nest until theyoung fledge. I choose one nest because colonies are chaotic; you will misssome shots by pointing the lens at hundreds of birds. At this nest, anotherchick hatched a day or so before the one depicted. Because of the timeadvantage, the older chick typically bullied the younger one by always eatingfirst, stealing meals and pecking it until it left the shade cast by the parent.To get out of the Florida heat, the chick often used the shadow I cast fromlying down near the parent. I got into position one hour prior to sunrise andlay there for another hour, then a parent flew in directly to the smaller chickand fed it first. It was inches away from me, so I could not get the feedingphoto.

Stockholm, Sweden.Ivan Sjögren, Sweden.Category: Best Portrait. BRONZE AWARD WINNER.This Grey Heron is one of a group that have become celebrities in the birding world.They are a part of a very special population that chooses to stay on their breedinggrounds all year round, one of the northernmost locations in the world where GreyHerons choose to do that. And this means facing winters when temperatures drop toaround −20˚C. They survive in this urban lake called Råstasjön thanks to a small waterpump that keeps a very small area of water moving through the winter. They are alsofed fish weekly by local people, who have formed a very special relationship with thesebirds. I took this image on a day where I chose to head out even though the weatherforecast said heavy snowfall. I wanted to portray the conditions in which these birdschoose to stay. The snow was falling very rapidly, which made it hard for me to get animage where single snowflakes where visible. Also, the relatively dark heron stood out asalmost a silhouette against the bright background. I found a solution to one of myproblems when a street lamp suddenly turned on because the light was fading. Theheron that stood below got slightly lit by the lamp, which reduced the contrast.

I spent several hours lying on the bank of a slowmoving river trying to get a picture of a hunting Neotropical Cormorant. While egrets are very predictable, cormorants huntbelow the water surface and it is tricky to work out where they will appear with a fish. These unpredictable movements, coupledwith auto-focus challenges, meant there were many failed attempts before I successfully managed to capture this picture.Canon EOS 5DS with Canon EF300mm f/2.8L IS II USM lens and 2× converter.

The day before I took this picture, I realised that the best placefor taking photos in the lake – which has several pairs of breeding GreatCrested Grebes – was from the west side. That meant a backlit sunrise forme! So, I set my alarm for 3am, took my bike and went off. When I arrived atthe lake where I had planned to lie down and photograph, I was pleasantlysurprised by how beautiful it was – in fact, much better than I had expected.Swans, grebes and Mallards were everywhere!

The male flew all over looking for a meal, and I could not believe it when he landed in a tiny cedarsapling very close to me. Unfortunately, there were lots of willows blocking my view, so I quietly stepped to myleft, found a clear angle, and began photographing him.

GOLD AWARD WINNER.Photographer's Story: ‘The Andean condor was one of my main target subjects during a three-week trip to Patagonia. I had spent the first two days searching for suitable locations as I had a very particular image in mind. My aim was to show a wide view of the bird in its habitat; a picture that would sum up not only the majesty of the condor itself, but capture an essence of the place too. I found a series of jagged mountain peaks, with several condors circling the thermals looking for prey. I returned the next morning, hoping to catch the first light of dawn. However, storm clouds soon started rolling in and I found myself shooting in gale force winds. I switched to my shorter lens to help stability and fired a series of shots attempting to show the condor as part of the wild and dramatic landscape.’Canon EOD 1D MkII with Canon EF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS lens. 295mm focal length; 1/500 second; f11; ISO 400. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1572270089055-D3POP0ZHLLFAR9NN8NGO/omgiclczbdj-BVR-0000036501-Edit.jpg BPOTY 2017 Winners - ANDREW PARKINSON - BIRD BEHAVIOUR GOLD Coots fightingCoot Fulica atra.

Typically, I had arrived at the lake at dawn to work with the local swans but, as the first rays of dawn light illuminated the far shore, thesecoots suddenly decided to engage in a dispute over territory. The fight only lasted for a few seconds but it gave me the opportunity to capture a few images; this one was my favourite as it captures two distinctive types of posture. The one on the left is in a defensive posture, foot raised; the one on the right is the primary aggressor, captured in mid-air as it launches another attack.

BRONZE AWARD WINNER.Photographer's Story: ‘During the winter of 2014/15, a huge flock of Bramblings could regularly be observed in a wood near the village of Hasel in the South-West of Germany. Every evening the birds returned to their communal roost, having split themselves into many smaller flocks during the day. These smaller flocks would forage in different areas, often many miles apart. I used a long exposure for this photo to portray movement and show the ‘ballet’ the birds performed in the sky. The bright light of the setting sun behind the wings of the swirling Bramblings created a transparent and wonderfully colourful effect.’Canon EOS 5D MkIII with Canon EF400mm f/2.8L IS USM lens and 2x converter. 800mm focal length; 1/20 second; f/40; ISO 100. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1572277255887-YC7GTMLUH1T1ES4T8PG7/okiquatbvgt-DGI-0000037086.jpg BPOTY 2017 Winners - WIM VAN DEN HEEVER - CREATIVE IMAGERY BRONZE Swans in the snow Whooper Swan Cygnus cygnus.

The most sought-after species were King eider and Steller's eider, both of them arctic specialists and both with glossy drakes. Pictures of big flocks flying and swimming, birds fluttering their wings and spreading thousands of tiny drops of water made for good shots, but this resplendent Steller's drake, shot at water level from a floating hide in Batsfjord captured my attention and gave me an opportunity for a more artistic composition.

Withthe hide set up on a lower part of the garden, I was able to create an eye-level view withthe windfall apples the birds were feeding on. When these Redwings finally appeared Iwas immediately struck by the contrasting body language of these two birds. The birdon the left seemed pensive and submissive; the one on the right was confident, evenaggressive. I had already witnessed some squabbles, so I pre-focused on the bird to theleft before taking my eye away from the viewfinder. This allowed me to see the biggerpicture and I was better placed to pick up on the subtle changes in behaviour that wouldgive me clues as to what might unfold. When I saw the aggressor twitch I fired a burstof frames but, forced to use a narrow depth of field to reduce the effect of a clutteredbackground, I wasn’t that confident of a decent result. I was also astonished by thespeed of events and they were barely perceptible to the naked eye. Nevertheless I wasextremely lucky to find that both birds were sharp and that the behaviour was dramatic.Nikon D3S with Nikon 600mm f/4 VR lens. Gitzo tripod with Wimberley head.

BIRD PHOTOGRAPHER O MUTE SWAN ADULT IN DETAILMute Swan Cygnus olor. Derbyshire, United Kingdom.Andy Parkinson, United Kingdom. Category: Attention to Detail. CATEGORY WINNER.BIRD PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE YEAR WINNER.I have worked with Mute Swans extensively over the last two years and I never tire of their beauty,whether it’s the curved sweep of the neck or the beautiful feather formation of the threat posture. Forthis image I sat beneath a weir as the last rays of evening sunlight streamed through the erect tailfeathers of an adult. By using a large telephoto lens I was able to blur out the regular form of the weir,whilst a distant forest in shadow provides the perfect black backdrop to the swan. It was the time of yearwhen the adults were beginning to drive away their young from the previous summer, and this is what ishappening in this image. By exposing for the whites of the swan, and allowing the rest of the frame tofall in to underexposure, I was able to create this abstract image with its almost fungi-like appearance. Iam often drawn to images such as these, in which it isn’t immediately obvious what the viewer is lookingat. I hope that it shows the beauty that can be found in subtle details and demonstrates that, even with abird as frequently photographed as the Mute Swan, there are always new images to make.Nikon D3S with Nikon 600mm f/4 VR lens.

The TuftedDuck was in a shady pool, but the bird was lit by just enough sunlight to highlight the eyeand bill colours and make them stand out. There was very little background distraction,which meant that when I darkened the original image the black body disappeared, leavingonly the lighter bright colours. The key features of the bird that are visible hopefully leavethe rest to the imagination. There are few species for which this approach would work – ifthe duck had a black eye or a dark bill, it would not work. The reflection was a bonus andplaces the bird on water, which is where it should be, as well as giving it some movement.Nikon D300 with Nikon 300mm f/2.8 lens plus 2× converter.

St Ives, Cornwall, United Kingdom.Sam Hobson, United Kingdom. Category: Bird Behaviour. CATEGORY WINNER.With a shrinking fishing industry, a reduction in discarded fish and closure of landfill sites, large gullshave begun to look to urban areas for food and shelter. In towns like St Ives in Cornwall,holidaymakers are coming into conflict increasingly with these opportunist gulls, which take anychance they can get for a free meal. Kleptoparasitism, as this ‘food theft’ is known, is a naturalbehaviour amongst gulls: they are the pirates of the bird world and often steal food from otherspecies to feed themselves and their young. Cornwall’s long history of piracy seems to give the localsa more sympathetic appreciation of the antisocial behaviour of these ‘rogue’ gulls, but it is only amatter of time before the tourists call for them to be kept under control.Nikon D750 with Nikon 17–35mm f/2.8 lens.

With its characteristic and very lively behaviour, itoften flies back and forth and changes direction very abruptly. This bird flew hectic zigzags several times, covering shortdistances, as if challenging me to catch it in flight with my lens. It was a challenge to focus on the bird manually at adistance of 25 metres while it was in rapid motion.

1. Common Swifts originally nested in tree-holes but have nested almost entirely in our buildings for centuries and have become dependent on us for their survival. 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 have, however, fallen by 50 per cent in the last 20 years across the UK, partly as the supply of suitable nest sites has fallen as old roofs are renovated and entrances are sealed, while newly built properties rarely offer nest spaces or access. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1588775944540-165YSCGQVCJNYCIWBXK1/k6g3SquScKTCa3qi7.jpg Conservation Documentary Award - 2. A screaming party of Common Swifts fly around the church bell tower at dusk in Worlington, Suffolk, in a spectacular, noisy ritual that highlights a notable conservation success. Swifts almost completely disappeared from the village ten years ago, when the last cottage where a few pairs still nested was due for demolition. But mercifully the colony survived and has even increased by moving to the village church, where more than 25 pairs now breed every year. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1588775944417-JZIGHOBTFM3094XBEHJG/EiWPLfoBPTFaKwsau.jpg Conservation Documentary Award - 3. The sudden upswing in Common Swift fortunes at Worlington is thanks to the installation by a local swift charity of more than 40 nestboxes behind the window louvres since 2009. It is also thanks to the efforts of bird-ringer Simon Evans, who has recorded up to 70 chicks being raised in the boxes in good summers recently. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1588775945896-28W72T25W8MIZ59HB2FD/tqMzbpMHJMHhwuhMr.jpg Conservation Documentary Award - 4. Fitting nestboxes of many kinds in churches and on other buildings old and new has really helped the recovery of Common Swift populations in several UK towns and villages. Watching these remarkable birds whizzing to and from their nests at high speed is a wonderfully rewarding sight, though challenging to photograph! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1588775945637-TM3PT2XJJMXCDB75YC5W/LJGBymA6ikAmqPB5Y.jpg Conservation Documentary Award - 5. Judith Wakelam, who raised the alarm about the decline of Common Swifts in Worlington and enlisted the help of her local swift charity, hand-feeds orphaned Common Swift chicks from across East Anglia with insect food in her home in the village. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1588775946275-CEYWQ7H4AGE9WX2CM0ZK/Zkdi9oCeAkfBDpcNd.jpg Conservation Documentary Award - 6. Every year, Judith releases around 50 orphaned Common Swift chicks when they are ready to fly – ones she has fostered and fed with insects at her home.

'Sentinels' The location for this image and the Conservation Documentary Award story is the Boragaon Landfill, near the city of Guwahati in India. Encroaching on the Deepor Beel Wetland, the landfill continues to destroy priceless freshwater habitat and impacts wildlife in more insidious ways through pollution and toxic seepage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1627466269516-5F7G0W3MPBJA8G9WKY4A/bpoty-2021-3.jpg Bird POTY 2021 Winners - 'Functional Elegance' Known locally as Hargila (which translates literally as ‘Bone-swallower’), the Greater Adjutant has been saddled with a negative reputation in Assam, most likely on account of its rather unsavoury eating habits and unkempt appearance. Addressing local superstitions and myths is part of the strategy employed by the Hargila Army when it comes to the ‘charm offensive’ undertaken on behalf of the birds. Greater Adjutants nest in trees, often in or near people’s gardens. Since the project began in 2010, local residents in Kamrup district have begun protecting nesting trees. As a result of their combined efforts, nest numbers have grown from 28 to more than 200. Canon EOS 5D Mark IV with Sigma 150–600mm F5–6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary lens.

Her enthusiasm for these beleaguered birds is infectious – one reason why her ‘army’ is going from strength to strength. Since Barman began her efforts 10 years ago, the local population of Greater Adjutants has grown from 400 to an estimated 950 birds. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1627466271155-GW6KTK9VYVWGWON5PKW1/bpoty-2021-5.jpg Bird POTY 2021 Winners - 'Visual Aids' Cultivating personal relationships with the local community is a key component of Barman’s successful conservation model. Here, a young boy who lives and works on the landfill as a migrant rag-picker is pictured enjoying the moment he tries on a papier-mâché stork headdress. Barman and her Hargila Army hope to bring a bit of fun and joy to the community, thereby instilling a sense of empathy and concern for their fellow landfill residents, the storks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1627466271659-39VUEX30DM2VPELZCO27/bpoty-2021-6.jpg Bird POTY 2021 Winners - 'Information is Key' Here, Barman is showing off textiles woven by Hargila Army members. These feature a Greater Adjutant design motif, one that has been incorporated into traditional materials and products, including mekhela chador and gamosa. She regards education as being key to the long-term success of the project: if students are taught at a young age to respect Greater Adjutants, they will become the species’ advocates and protectors in the future. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1627466272286-IPYDZCY9A09XYNX14VIB/bpoty-2021.jpg Bird POTY 2021 Winners - 'Garbage on an Industrial Scale' Deepor Beel’s status as a Ramsar site has done little in practical terms to protect it, and the wetland’s footprint has shrunk from an original 4,000ha to an alarming 500ha today. The landfill grows in grim stature on a daily basis, and with their natural habitat destroyed, Greater Adjutants are forced to rely increasingly on scavenging at the garbage dump for their existence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1627468887030-2V9HZR0J7K4XILU8LAGH/bpoty-2021.jpg Bird POTY 2021 Winners - 'Morning Lek' by Levi Fitze (Gold) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1627468886052-Y0N3G8H18XXBCJZ7GF4U/bpoty-2021-3.jpg Bird POTY 2021 Winners - 'The Nightjar' by Daniel Martínez (Silver) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1627468886126-X6XYHWARFPN8WYOKS99C/bpoty-2021-2.jpg Bird POTY 2021 Winners - 'Mid-air Catch' by Daniel Zhang (Bronze) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c62a334755be217708444ff/1627469450839-Y4Y0KEO6N7FMLAAZ8GNB/bpoty-2021.jpg Bird POTY 2021 Winners - 'In the Woodland' by Andrés L.
