This year's winning image is a thought-provoking shot of birds killed after colliding with windows and other reflective surfaces in urban areas. It was taken by Canadian photographer Patricia Homonylo. She hopes people are 'shocked by what they see' and 'moved to act', highlighting the urgent need to address urban design’s hidden dangers for wildlife.
Paul Sterry, a trustee of Birds on the Brink, states: 'The mark of a good photograph is one that either demonstrates artistry or tells a story. The mark of an exceptional one is that it does both. [The winning image] is just such a photograph, portraying a tragic and often overlooked aspect of man's impact on the environment and an unintended consequence of our species' high-rise aspirations.'
