Photography Award Winners 2021
During October 2021 we featured the finalists in both the BirdLife Australia Photography Awards and also the Wildlife Photo Competition for this year.
Today we congratulate the winners of both competitions.
Birdlife Australia Photo Competition Winners 2021 for each category are shown above.
The winner for the best portfolio, shown below was awarded to Patrick Tomkins for A Grasstree Odyssey.
Patrick comments:
In the aftermath of the black summer bushfires, grass trees were one of the first things to recover. They provided a food source in a barren landscape, allowing a range of species to persist in some of the most severely burnt areas. The sea of new grass tree spikes, set against a backdrop of blackened bush, was eerily beautiful. It was a beauty tinged with sadness, and it genuinely took my breath away. I hope these photos have done it justice.
