Meet The Winners: BirdLife Australia Photography Awards Has Announced The Best Shots Of Australian Birds (71 Pics)
#7 Birds In Flight: “Morning Dance” By Lawrence Chan (Shortlist)
“Grey Fantails are common birds in our city parks. Through the light, actions, and back-lit wingspan, I have tried to express the beauty of this common bird. I was able to choose a darker background to highlight the wings and the beautiful dance. It was a great challenge for me to capture the fast movement.”

“There were some main trends for each category. The most noticeable trend was for the human impact, backyard birds, and bird portrait categories. With the human impact category, lots of photographers submitted entries covering road collisions with birds and wildlife. In fact, 3 of the shortlisted entries for human impact were of road collisions with wildlife. With bird portraits, we had many entries of rainbow lorikeets, magpies and laughing kookaburras up close. Similarly, we also had these species re-occur in the backyard bird category.”
