Spectacular bird photography

 

The Bird Photographer Of The Year competition has announced its 2023 winners.  There are some incredible photographs among them.  Here, for example, is the overall winner, showing a female falcon driving a brown pelican away from her nest.  (Click any image to be taken to a full-size version of the photograph on the Web.)

Here's a mother owl with her almost-grown chick.

And here's a Gibson's albatross flying over the ocean.
