Kite with turtle – Diurnal raptors, runner up

‘I was at Fogg Dam wetlands and it was getting quite late when I noticed a whistling kite take off with something in its claws. It was only when I looked at the photo afterwards that I realised it was a turtle.’

Angel in the air – Birds in flight, runner up

‘Amongst the terns, little tern chicks have the fastest growth rate. Thanks to the succession of precision sorties delivered by their dedicated parents, these tiny fluff balls reach adult size in just 20 days. This aerial delivery system is a sight to behold. On this windy day, many parents were returning empty.'
