Battle of Stalingrad, 史達林格勒戰役

The statue of six children dancing around a crocodile became famous worldwide due to several pictures that a Soviet photographer took after the German army’s devastating bombings.

British Wildlife Photography Awards 2017, 英國野生動物攝影獎

Overall and urban wildlife category winner: Daniel Trim, Heathrow roostings. “In winter, pied wagtails roost communally in urban areas, both for protection and for the additional warmth given off by buildings and lights. This extra degree or two can make the difference in harsh weather. Here, a single individual out of hundreds is silhouetted by the lights of Terminal 5 at Heathrow airport”. (Photo by Daniel Trim/British Wildlife Photography Awards 2017)
Ben Hall, habitat category winner: Wren on Frost-Encrusted Fern, Dunham Massey, Cheshire. “Following a cold, clear night I visited a local woodland to photograph deer. The temperature had dropped well below freezing during the night and frost clung to the trees and foliage, completely transforming the landscape ... After some time I noticed a wren flitting around in the frost-encrusted ferns. I set up my tripod and waited, following it with my lens as it moved. Eventually, it alighted on the top of a fern and I inched my way back in an attempt to show the wren in its wintry environment”. (Photo by Ben Hall/British Wildlife Photography Awards 2017)
“Fast forward to autumn and the birds are still on site, using the trees as a safe place to roost each evening. I wasn’t entirely sure if they’d actually do this at this particular spot, but took a chance when I was visiting one morning. Luckily, a bird was there, drying its wings in the first rays of morning sunshine. The orange autumnal glow of the leaves being illuminated by the rising sun was incredibly fortuitous, but sometimes nature rewards you for repeat visits to the same spot”.
