Returning from a hike, Olivier stood near a cliff where he knew vultures often roost overnight. It was a misty sunset with clouds and fog. He was willing to grasp that golden hour, but it didn\u2019t happen: something better was about to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cThe vulture is majestic, holding an undeniable posture of someone who belongs there \u2013 a timeless moment where its colour blends with the rock. What&#8217;s most striking in nature photography is that even the most common or negatively perceived subjects have an aesthetic.\u201d<\/p>\n<cite>Olivier Teilhard<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Olivier is conscious that the lack of knowledge and awareness about vultures reflects the generalised feeling of fearing them.

at the European Vulture Conference<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The exciting announcement of the finalists and winners took place at the <a href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/pt\/blog\/day-3-insights-european-vulture-conference\/\">European Vulture Conference<\/a>, hosted in C\u00e1ceres last month. The event, which gathered over 400 vulture experts and enthusiasts, was an opportunity to showcase the work of the finalist photographers. More than that, it allowed the delegates to discover the captivating world of vultures through new lenses and perspectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve received 450 photographs from across the globe, picturing at least 18 different vulture species. We were staggered by unique vulture portraits, both in the wild and in captivity, many depicting their natural habitat from the savannah to the highest and most inauspicious mountain tops. Flying, perching, mating or simply fighting for food, photographers have immortalised vultures\u2019 behaviour in visual poems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Jury<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you to Hansruedi Weyrich, Massimo Prati and Bruno Berthemi for accepting the difficult task of selecting the finalist and winning photos. They are all fantastic wildlife photographers with a keen love for vultures.
