Post Your Best Wildlife Photos Of 2022

If you would like to post, you'll need to register. Note that if you have a BCG store account, you'll need a new, separate account here (we keep the two sites separate for security purposes).

It's been quite an interesting exercise, going through my shots from the past year and picking my 8 favorite shots :). Some I was expecting they'll make the list, others I was surprised that I like them more today than when I shot them:

It's getting towards the end of the year and I thought it would be fun to post some of our best / favorite shots from the last twelve months. Only post images you captured this year and please keep it to eight photos or less (I know, it's tough if it's been a busy year). I can't wait to see what you captured. I'll start with some of my favorites :)

2023 was a special year for me as I bought my Sony 600mm f4 GM, used with Sony A1. This is the first time I use this type of lens and I must say that there is a WOW effect... the equipment is not everything, but it helps.

I present you some photographs, not necessarily the "best ones", but images that I like.
Compression used to stick to 1200 pixels wide pictures is not our friend. This is why I give links to the full size images.

To start with, 4 images taken in France, in “La Dombes”, close to Lyon. This is a very special area…

The region forms an undulating plateau with a slight slope towards the north-west, the higher ground bordering the Ain and the Rhône attaining an average height of about 1,000 ft (300 m). The Dombes is characterized by an impervious surface consisting of boulder clay and other relics of glacial action. Because of this, there are a large number of rain-water pools, varying for the most part from 35 to 250 acres (1.0 km2) in size which cover some 23,000 acres (93 km²) of its total area of 282,000 acres (1,140 km²). These pools, artificially created, date in many cases from the 15th century, some to earlier periods, and were formed by landed proprietors who in those disturbed times saw a surer source of revenue in fish-breeding than in agriculture. Disease and depopulation resulted from this policy and at the end of the 18th century the Legislative Assembly decided to reduce the area of the pools which then covered twice their present extent. Drainage works were continued, roads cut, and other improvements effected during the 19th century; partly as a result of Napoleon III's installation of Trappist monks in the district to set about the task. Large numbers of fish, principally carp, pike, and tench are still reared profitably. The pools are periodically dried up so the ground can be cultivated.
