Feathered on Panels – BPOTY 2025: Gold
A lone bird rests on a vast field of solar panels along the highway in the Netherlands,a striking symbol of the tension between green energy and nature. As we transition to sustainable power, the infrastructure often claims scarce space that could have been left for wildlife. This spontaneous moment captures that paradox: progress requires space, but at what cost to nature? No bait was used,just a fleeting encounter between a bird and a man-made future.
