The Bird Photographer of the Year 2017 winners were recently announced, and they are a sight for sore eyes.
The competition receives thousands of entries from around the world and celebrates all things feathered. Now in its third year, the competition has become a very prestigious award amongst wildlife photographers and has been steaming ahead in popularity.
The top prize is $6,500, and this year that went to Overall Winner Alejandro Prieto Rojas, who shot the photo above titled “Feeding Flamingos.” It was the Gold prize winner of the “Best Portrait” category.
