Mark Carwardine entered this photo into the Siena Drone Photo Awards in 2020. Titled “Munk’s Mobula Rays Schooling,” the photo shows off a phenomenon that many people don’t get to see often. The photo depicts a school of Devil Rays, which often congregate in tropical or coastal waters. Mark Carwardine is a British zoologist who has a show on BBC, called Last Chance to See.
He is especially interested in marine wildlife, having written over forty books on the topic. The possible drone used for this photograph would be the Swellpro Spry, which could handle the salty, wet sea air without becoming damaged.
