Special Mention | Wildscape & Animals in Their Habitat

Shiraki Military Airfield, Kakheti, Georgia

In the Ruins

On an abandoned Soviet airfield now used for grain storage, rodents thrive and attract barn owls. New nest boxes installed through a conservation effort allowed the owls to settle and breed. Under the pale morning moon, an owl stands watch as a horseshoe bat crosses the quiet sky.

Sergey has been exploring wildlife photography since 2020. In 2023, he began focusing on capturing animals that remain unseen by the human eye, using motion-sensor technology to reveal their hidden lives. This curiosity led him to join a team involved in the relocation and monitoring of barn owls and scops owls in Georgia, where he now documents some of the most intriguing and exceptional nesting stories.
