Here Are 31 Finalists Of This Year’s Bird Photographer Of The Year Contest

#13 Eurasian Nuthatch By Mark Williams
This nuthatch was photographed in my garden using rear-curtain flash synchronization. I attract birds to my garden using feeders and peanuts are the food that nuthatches cannot resist. The timing and method of capture were crucial to the success of this image. The initial exposure captured the movement of the bird while the flash, fired at the end of the exposure, freezes the bird in flight.
