Winner, underwater world: Pond world – Manuel Plaickner (Italy). “For many years I have followed the mating season of grass frogs. As soon as the first frost-free nights with some rain are expected, they start migrating to their spawning waters. In South Tyrol there are some places where these animals gather en masse, and it is there that I can observe the spectacle. Unfortunately, their numbers are declining significantly in some of these habitats, and so I hope this photo helps to raise people’s enthusiasm for the protection of these animals”.
