Photo: Maxmilian Hornisch
The annual competition of the Society of German Wildlife Photographers, which showcases talented European Union photographers, has chosen its 2018 winner: German photographer Maxmilian Hornisch's image of a Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos). The photo (above) was the overall winner and first place in the birds category. A description of the winning image states: 'Temperatures are rising, the snow melts and water slowly cuts its way down into the valley ... The Golden Eagle floats in through the retreating veil looking for winter's leftovers ... Numerous avalanches in the mountains have taken their toll, offering the Golden Eagles a generous supply of food after the snow is gone ... Two days later there was going to be new snow, heavily restricting the Golden Eagle's food supply once more'.
