Sunrise Hare: Hares are often skittish. For this image, the photographer lay low and silent in a spot. This hare was very relaxed and allowed him to capture some portraits as the sun was starting to rise over the field. Image Courtesy: Spencer Burrows/British Wildlife Photography Awards
Starling at Night: The photographer carefully balanced the flash with the ambient light to record this starling’s trail at the beginning of the exposure, while a brief burst of flash would freeze the bird in mid-flight. Image Courtesy: Mark Williams/British Wildlife Photography Awards
Three Frogs in Amplexus: Here, there has been a competition to mate with a female. For a lot of the time there is a frenzy of activity, but sometimes they freeze long enough to get a shot. Image Courtesy: Ian Mason/British Wildlife Photography Awards
Dancing in the Dark: This image portrays a pair of great crested grebes engaged in their courtship ritual at sunrise. This carefully choreographed dance serves to strengthen their bonds during the mating season. Image Courtesy: Matthew Glover/British Wildlife Photography Awards
Squirrel Silhouette: Young kits joined the adult squirrels for breakfast, and capturing their dynamic movements against the sky was a fascinating challenge. Image Courtesy: Rosamund Macfarlane/British Wildlife Photography Awards
Ocean Drifter: Ocean Drifter is a photo of a football that is covered in goose barnacles below the waterline. Above the water is just a football. But below the waterline is a colony of creatures. Image Courtesy: Ryan Stalker/British Wildlife Photography Awards
The Tightrope Walker: In this image, you can see a red fox walking along a tree branch at a considerable height from the ground, demonstrating that these animals are true tightrope walkers of nature. Image Courtesy: Daniel Valverde Fernandez/British Wildlife Photography Awards
The Crop Thief: At the edge of a crop field I suddenly noticed this small hare leveret down the tramline, chewing on the crops. I approached slowly and quietly, getting close enough to capture the image. Image Courtesy: Steven Allcock/British Wildlife Photography Awards
What’s All the Fuss About? An Arctic walrus who had come ashore to rest on the harbour slipway in Scarborough has lifted its head as a car passed on Foreshore Road. The image is lit by the streetlights to the left and features the town’s fishing boats in the background. Image Courtesy: Will Palmer/British Wildlife Photography Awards
