One of Staffans images is awarded in the Bird Photographer of the Year competition. A close-up of a male King eider duck, from Varanger in Norway. Staffan says ”Nice, this is the first time I took part in that competition. I heard the good news from Markus Varesvuo, who himself by the way, won the most prestigious and most difficult to get of all awards in the competition, the Best Portfolio Award. Congratulations Markus, hats off!” All the winning images can be viewed here
