    The judges have issued their verdicts and Andy Pollard’s Sedge Wren Splits (above) took home the silver in the Behavior: Birds category in the 2020 World Nature Photography Awards.

    The bar was evidently high this year, with the winners in each category showcasing the best that nature photography has to offer.

    Thomas Vijayan was the Grand Prize winner, with his image of an orangutan climbing a tree.

    Per The Atlantic, here’s how he managed to capture it.

    “I selected a tree that was in the water so that I could get a good reflection of the sky which can make the image look upside down. Then I climbed up the tree and waited for hours. This is a regular path for the orangutans to cross to another small island so I was sure to get this frame if I waited patiently.”

    Judging by the shot he captured, it was worth the wait:

    It’s a rainy day in Cape Town, so make a cup of tea, grab a blanket, and take a scroll through more of the top placing photographs in the competition:

    It’s not a bad way to explore the world without leaving your living room.

    And, in this weather, I won’t be going anywhere.
