" I captured every detail, grateful for this magical moment amid the lush jungle backdrop. "
Sword-billed hummingbird, Bogota, Colombia by Rafael Armada" The sword-billed hummingbird, common in the Andean forests, has The World 's longest bill relative to its size.
" This bird's unique bill, adapted to feed on flowers with long corollas, makes it a vital pollinator, as bees and butterflies can't reach the nectar and so don't pollinate these plants.
" This Image captures The Bird approaching a feeder, with natural backgrounds and lighting. "
Great Grey Owl , Helsinki, Finland by Arto Leppänen" During winter migration, owls from northern Finland often head to The South where they can find more food due to less snow.
" This great Grey Owl chose a cemetery with abundant voles as its hunting ground. While hunting, The Owl would often stop on tombstones or other structures to observe the area.
" Keeping a safe distance, I followed The Owl and managed to capture a fleeting moment when it landed briefly on a beautiful angel statue. "
Purple Heron , Lake Chiusi, Italy by Antonio Aguti" The Purple Heron is a migratory bird that nests in The Lake basins of the Italian Peninsula and feeds mainly on fish, although it also preys on mice, snakes, toads and other creatures.

Australasian darter, Victoria, Australia by Cheng Kang" On a winter morning, fog swirled around perched birds and Dead Trees like tentacles.
" It was a breathtaking sight that filled me with calm and tranquillity. Converting The Image to black and white in post-processing further emphasised The Sense of stillness and peace. "
European Stonechat , Albacete, Spain by Julian Fernandez Quilez" This Image features an abandoned farmhouse in my town, with a painting of A Woman and a European Stonechat perched on The Door .
" I orientated The Door To Let the sunrise in and used three flashes to illuminate The Painting . It took multiple sessions to achieve the desired effect. "
King Penguin , Saunders Island , Falkland Islands by Levi Fitze" When observing King penguins, I was struck by how their behaviour sometimes resembles that of humans.
" This juvenile constantly begged until the annoyed adult walked away. However, the fact that the juvenile was more massive than the adult suggests good parenting overall. "
