Birds weren't the only animals to feature in the winners list, though. Lucien Harris won the award for Best Macro Photographer (close-up shots) for this picture called Field of Wings. I think with all the snow outside that it's safe to say Lucien didn't take this picture all that recently!

Sixteen awards were given in total, including one to Claire Armitage for this image which got her the prize of Best Selfie Photographer. It's much better than some of the ones we take on our phones back at Newsround HQ, that's for sure!

There was also a category for portrait photography, which was won by Sarah Wilkes for this close-up shot entitled Simple Beauty, portraying a young girl with curly hair, striking freckles, and deep, brown eyes.

It's never easy taking pictures of sport when people are moving incredibly quickly, but it was no problem for Miek Egerton who took home an award for Best Sports Photographer for this impressive shot of someone heading down a luge track.

Another winning picture which perfectly captured motion is this shot by Aaron Storry, which won the Best Wedding Photographer group called Chloe & Joe's First Dance for obvious reasons. It certainly looks like a good party!

On top of the overall winners which were chosen by a panel of expert judges, the competition also ran People's Choice Awards, which allowed members of the public to vote for the pictures which they liked the best. This shot by Filip Gierlinski was selected to win the portrait category.

Around 74,000 voted in the People's Choice Awards and in the Water Life Photography category, Dan Charity took home the prize for this incredible picture of a whale shark underwater. We hope he managed to get out of the way - that's quite an underwater crowd!

It's hard to tell at first what this is, but that's because this is the People's Choice winner of the macro category. This shot is called Veil and it was captured by a photographer called Adam Karnacz.
