Birds have been captured in flight, in fights, and in brisk action like never before in 2023’s Bird Photographer of the Year competition.
Amongst photographers from all around the world, who submitted a total of 20,000 images, American photographer Jack Zhi took the top gong, and a £5,000 (approx. US $6,150) grand prize, for his striking shot of a peregrine falcon tackling a brown pelican that flew too close to her nest in Southern California, titled “Grab the Bull by the Horns.”
