This year’s crown went to Irena Rosiewicz, who impressed the judges with her imitation of the common rosefinch, a migratory songbird found across much of Eurasia.

Organisers hope the annual event will encourage more people to appreciate birdsong in the city, while also highlighting how it is gradually disappearing from urban life.
