A Dalmatian Pelican floats across the glassy waters of Lake Kerkini in northern Greece, captured with a Sony A1 and Tamron 70-180mm f/2.8. The image by Gary Neville, crowned overall winner of the SINWP Bird Photographer of the Year 2025, showcases one of Europe's most iconic waterbirds.
Photographed at a man-made reservoir created in 1932, and renowned for its biodiversity, the scene highlights a location that has become an important habitat for Dalmatian Pelicans and other waterbirds – and a great destination for bird and wildlife photographers.
