Photographic

As any ornithologist will tell you, birds are wonderful, funny and expressive animals, so it's no surprise they also make great subjects for photo competitions. We present their weird and wonderful selves and the talented snappers behind the shots.

The David Malin Awards is an astrophotography competition based in Australia celebrating the greatest astronomical photos from the last twelve months. This year’s overall winner was a magnificent image from Luke Tscharke showing the Milky Way rising over a lake at night in southern Tasmania.
