Winner, wetlands: the bigger picture. Road to ruin, by Javier Lafuente, Spain. A stark, straight line of road slices through the curves of the wetland landscape. By manoeuvring his drone and inclining the camera, Lafuente dealt with the challenges of sunlight reflected by the water and ever-changing light conditions. Dividing the wetland in two, this road was constructed in the 1980s to provide access to a beach. The tidal wetland is home to more than 100 species of birds, with ospreys and bee-eaters among many migratory visitors. (Photo by Javier Lafuente/Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2021)
