George Staniforth, The Owl, the Robin, and the Ibis (ANIMALS 2026)

I photographed these birds at the Royal Botanic Gardens and in Kangaroo Valley. I loved how the Powerful Owl was hidden in the canopies of the trees, the Eastern Yellow Robin stood out with its bright yellow chest, and the Australian White Ibis was wandering around like it owned the place. I wanted to show how cool Australian birds are.
