1st Place Winner: "Parakeet Biting Monitor Lizard" By Hira Punjabi
"This image was taken in Keoladeo National Park in Bharatpur, Rajasthan, India, in January 2024.
Keoladeo is a bird sanctuary where many migratory birds visit during the winter, and some resident birds breed here. January is a very cold month, and there is often mist and fog. I have observed the behavior of birds attacking snakes and lizards, as they feed on bird eggs. I have been visiting this park for the last 30 years, but this time, I was lucky. I spent four days observing the same dry tree, and one morning, a pair of parakeets, along with about 10 or 12 other birds, started attacking a lizard. The entire drama lasted for about an hour. I managed to capture many images, but this one is my favorite."

3rd Place Winner: "Great Grey Owl Landing In Snow" By Maggie Bullock
"This shot of a Great Grey Owl was taken in Finland, near Kuusamo. The bird flew down to take a dead mouse and I managed to take a few shots of it approaching and landing. It was wonderful to see this wild bird in its natural environment against a snowy background. Taken from a raised path, where a step to either side would have resulted in sinking into deep snow, the shot was handheld using a fast shutter speed to capture the action."

I love egrets. We have cattle egrets everywhere in our part of France and I adore them.

I do get irritated with cuckoos, making a much smaller momma bird raise their gigantic children.

2nd Place Winner: Thomas Mcdonnell
"The Photo of the Red Grouse was taken in the North Antrim Hills near the town of Ballycastle.
A friend of mine told me he had seen grouse in the area so I decided to use my free time to look for the grouse. Over a period of a few months of looking, I eventually came across two males and a female. The males were calling at one another and flying across the road where I was parked, I watched them for an hour or so taking photos from the car, I decided to get out of the car as I was restricted in my movements, the birds seem to not care of my presence so I stood beside the car as one of the birds came right at me to go across the road to investigate the other bird, luckily I was able to to get the shot as it flew across the road."

Nice to see cooperative positive parenting, something that a lot of humans could learn from.

These are beautiful! I wish I had a talent like these, but the best I seem to be able to achieve is a pic of a ladybird that is actually recognisable as a ladybird!
