Week 310: Birds
Our theme this week is Birds, and we’d love to see how you can capture birds out in nature. Bird photography is a popular genre in the nature photography field, not least because birds can usually be found pretty much everywhere you look! This week, experiment with your bird photography. Perhaps you will capture an unusual bird portrait, or photograph a bird in flight. Maybe you will focus on the details of a bird, such as its eyes, or feathers. Whether you’re a seasoned nature photographer, or are new to the genre, the options for capturing new and interesting photos of birds are endless, and we can’t wait to see what inspiring shots you can create.

This week’s winner is this image, captured by Zoltan Dobany: ‘Certhia familiaris foraging on the trunk of a willow tree. It blends in completely with its surroundings.’
This fascinating portrait showcases the unique qualities and behavior of a garden subject, and caught our eye for the sense of intrigue generated by the intriguing composition. The entries this week were particularly strong, so well done, and thank you to all who entered!
