‘Pigeons Kiss’ by Mich Elliot took 3rd place with the judges saying that it was an endearing image of the often-maligned pigeon, visually strong, detail in the eyes and colour detail throughout fabulous an image that really draws the viewer in.

Irish Environmental Network @irishenvnet.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

Second place went to ‘Top Water Dog’ by Chris Martin – the judges described it as a fabulous image of chasing otters on the bank of the River Lee in Cork City - again, a wonderful image of these powerful creatures, crisp detail showing the power and beauty of these elusive river/ estuary dwellers.

‘On A Platter’ by Michael Jones is the winning image in this year's Biodiversity Photographer of the Year competition. Described by the judges as a great capture of Swallow hunting in a bountiful Meadow, it’s clean, sharp, it’s colourful and represents our natural biodiversity on multiple levels.
