Bird photographer of the year 2024 winners in pictures
Briefly

"This Peregrine Falcon fledgling had been flying for over a week and his skills had improved by the day. While he still took food from parents, he had started to practise his hunting skills... caught the butterfly, played with it for a second, then released it."
"I conceived the idea for this image some time ago, but each time I attempted to turn it into reality one of the elements was not right... finally created the image I had pictured in my mind."
"During my last days on the islands, I found an area along a beach where Gentoo Penguins surf in the waves when coming back from their hunting dives... their eggs were a food source, but the birds themselves were prized because of their layer of fat, which was used to render oil for lighting."
