The Oxfordshire Museum is hosting the Bird Photographer of the Year exhibition in the Garden Gallery.

In September 2024 the winners of the Bird Photographer of the year 2024 were announced. 

An impactful image showing over 4,000 birds that died colliding with windows in Toronto was awarded the grand prize in the world’s largest bird photography competition. 

Photographers from all over the world entered more than 23,000 images into the competition. Photographers competed in 8 different categories in the adult competition: Best Portrait, Birds in the Environment, Bird Behaviour, Birds in Flight, Black and White, Urban Birds, Conservation (Single Image), and Comedy Bird Photo. There was also a Conservation Award, Portfolio Award, and Video Award. There is also an award for the Young Bird Photographer of the year.

Each year, the winning images are exhibited together and embark on an international tour. The exhibition features 70-80 winning photographs accompanied by detailed captions.
