EDITORS COMMENTS
Wildlife Photographer of the Year 1987: A Moment of Grace with an Oyster Catcher by Mike Wilkes Step back in time to the 20th century and experience the magic of nature through the lens of acclaimed wildlife photographer, Mike Wilkes. This iconic photograph, titled "Oyster Catcher," was awarded the prestigious title of "Animal Portraits" winner at the Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition in 1987, held at the Natural History Museum in London. The image captures the raw beauty and elegance of an Oystercatcher, a charadriiforme bird belonging to the Haematopodidae family, as it stands motionless against the backdrop of the rugged coastline. The Oystercatcher's vibrant orange beak and eyes are sharply in focus, contrasting against the muted tones of the pebbled shore. The bird's alert posture and intense gaze convey a sense of both power and vulnerability, inviting viewers to appreciate the intricacies of this remarkable creature. Mike Wilkes' masterful composition and impeccable timing have resulted in a timeless image that continues to captivate audiences. This photograph is not only a testament to Wilkes' skill as a wildlife photographer but also serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the natural world for future generations. Join us at the Natural History Museum's exhibition to explore the rich history of Wildlife Photographer of the Year and be inspired by the breathtaking images that showcase the wonders of the natural world.
