A Collection of Stunning Bird Photography

Birds are secretive and mysterious, making them one of the hardest animals to photograph. As a result, the British Trust for Ornithology is taking the time to appreciate photographers from all over the world who have mastered the art of capturing the beauty of birds.

 

Since 2015, they have held The Bird Photographer of the Year Competition, and each year they receive hundreds of entries. A cash prize of $6,500 is given to the top entry, while smaller amounts of cash, equipment, and merchandise are dished out to the others.

Some of the best entries from the 2017 edition can be seen below and they are some of the most incredible and colorful bird photos that you will ever lay eyes upon.
