Here are the winning photos of the Bird Photographer of the Year 2022. An image of a rock ptarmigan in winter plumage taking flight above the snow-covered mountains of Tysfjord, Norway, takes the grand prize in the world’s largest bird photography competition.

Photographers from all over the world entered more than 20,000 images into the competition, each with their eyes on the £5,000 grand prize. Norweight photographer Erlend Haarberg was declared this year’s grand prize winner for his beautiful image taken above Tysfjorden.

The Young Bird Photographer of the Year 2022 was awarded to a 17-year-old Swiss photographer Levi Fitze for his image of a dunlin struggling against a sandstorm.
