We’re happy as a lark to present the 2023 Bird Photographer of the Year winners.
Ruling the roost this year is a flock of majestic, funny, and downright stunning shots submitted by photographers from across the globe. The contest saw over 20,000 entries for the £5,000 (approx. $7,500) grand prize.
We saw record-levels of people picking up their cameras to shoot nature during COVID. Here’s a refresher on responsible wildlife photography if you’re a new or seasoned photographer.
