Congratulations to Josiah for winning the 2025 GTASA Photo Comp. The theme was Weather Watchers.

​​

My image shows a baby red wattle bird that has been displaced from its home of a gum tree in the suburb of Mawson Lakes. This tree and others were completely blown over covering a footpath. This wild weather combined with the recent drought, meant lots of trees were easily blown over or branches broken, so the place that these birds called home, was destroyed. Taking a photo of this bird with the fallen tree behind it, told the story of how weather can not just affect people and places, but also animals too.
