Sayed Dewan, Sayed Dewan - Nature and Wildlife of NSW (ANIMAL & NATURE 2025)

The Butcher - Captured deep within Sydney’s bushland, this haunting moment tells a story of struggle and loss. A young butcherbird, entangled in a thin wire near its nest, fought desperately to free itself but eventually lost the battle of life and death. While, another butcherbird scavenges the fallen juvenile. Nature’s instinct meeting the consequences of human carelessness. The Butcher serves as a stark reminder that even the smallest trace of our litter can shape the fate of life in the wild. Salties - A Silent Watcher. The Sunrise - Woke up early, hoping to catch the perfect sunrise over the calm waters at Collaroy. Just as the sun broke free from the clouds, this boat glided into frame and completed the picture. Sacred Kingfisher - Patience is everything in wildlife photography. Three hours of stillness were finally rewarded with this intimate portrait of the Sacred Kingfisher. All images were captured in New South Wales, Australia.
