Always popular when we acquire one of this annual series at a discounted price, this special compendium includes the winning and short-listed images from the 7th year of this competition, showcasing some of the finest bird photography and with a foreword by birdwatcher and explorer, Steve Backshall. The Bird Photographer of the Year competition celebrates avian beauty and diversity, and the book 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. See sublime aviators like the Peregrine Falcon, Hen Harrier, Willie Wagtail chasing an insect, a Willow Tit portrait or a Black-Tailed Godwit in silhouette, a feeding Jackdaw, a Snowy Owl and the Moon, the courtship dance of Lesser Flamingos in India, aerial combat between Southern Carmine Bee-Eaters, the beautiful bright yellow plumage of the Golden-Backed Weaver as seen in Singapore or a very close up image of the brown very furry plumage of the King Penguin chick and his family walking single file across the ice. Nearly 300 glorious colour images together with explanatory captions. 256 landscape pages 28.5 x 22.5cm.
