‘I thought it was my car that had caught their attention as I rounded the corner, and maybe it had at first, but as I rolled down the window I heard it was another group of howling coyotes that had piqued their interest. I parked, turned the engine off, and frantically went to work with the camera … however, in the rush of that moment I was soon compelled to put my camera down and soak in the scene’.

‘The pandemic forced me to stay in a small town for the last two years. This led me to find several animals using different parts of our city. I have been surprised to see the number of urban structures that many species use. They shelter under bridges, move through aqueducts, or nest along roads. But usually, we don’t notice it’.

Winner Daylight category: Window to the salt pan

The flamingo lifted its head from under the water for a split second when reaching the frame, allowing only one shot, before carrying on with feeding’. Photograph: Mano Aliczki/Picfair

Riders on the storm

‘Just at the end of a guided tour of a castle in Slovenia, I met this red fox while she was looking for a refuge from the violent storm that started a few minutes earlier. Unable to find shelter quickly, she was forced to wander for a while, moving slowly due to the weight of the water on her fur. I had the chance to take just a few backlit pictures before she disappeared behind the huge castle wall’. Photograph: Luca Eberle/Picfair
