Series: Bird Photographer of the Year

Foreword by Gordon Buchanan

This beautiful book accompanies the photographic competition celebrating the best bird photography of the year.

The Bird Photographer of the Year competition celebrates the artistry of bird photography, and this beautiful book reflects this. A celebration of avian beauty and diversity, it is a tribute to both the dedication and passion of the photographers as well as a reflection of the quality of today’s modern digital imaging systems.

The book includes the winning and short-listed images from the eighth year of this annual competition, showcasing some of the finest bird photography and with a foreword by wildlife presenter and film-maker, Gordon Buchanan. A proportion of the profits from the book goes directly to Birds on the Brink to support their conservation work.

The advent of digital technology has revolutionised photography in recent years, and the book brings to life some of the most stunning bird photography currently on offer. It features a vast variety of photographs by hardened pros, keen amateurs and hobbyists alike, reflecting the huge diversity of bird enthusiasts and nature lovers which is so important in ensuring their conservation and survival.
