PRIZE-WINNING PHOTO

Snatch a salmon

During the salmon run at Brooks Falls in Alaska, the brown bears often look rather bewildered as a conveyor belt of ‘sushi’ comes flying past. There are so many fish and most are missed, but just occasionally a bear will catch one in mid-air. It was a glorious summer’s day and this bear had three fish leaping up the falls at the same time. Only two made it past his open mouth!

Eat, sleep, play, repeat

Laying still in the kelp behind a rock, watching these otters on the Isle of Mull was an honour. Catching a variety of fish to eat then playing together in the water was clearly exhausting and afterwards they crashed out.

Winging it

Within seconds of leaving the car at RSPB Marshside I spotted a little head peeking at me through the grass. I raised my camera and it took flight – afemale sparrowhawk. With low, bright sun behind me I could use a fast shutter speed. Lucky me.

Jelly blubber lover

If you’re brave (and wear a wetsuit!) you can swim with jelly blubbers at Cabbage Tree Bay, Sydney. It’s an otherworldly experience as you navigate the heavy bells and watch sun rays pass through the semitransparent jellyfish bodies.

Hop, skip and a jump

I saw this group of spotted deer in Kanha National Park, India while on a morning safari. I framed the shot to contain the trees, morning light, curving track and all five deer.

Blending in

An ant-mimicking crab spider (Amyciaea forticeps) mimics weaver ants in order to prey on them. It will hold its front pair of legs aloft like this to imitate the ant’s antennae.

Lucky escape

This blood python was found eating chickens on a farm in Thailand. Our friend, a park ranger, rescued it from the local people and we placed it in water to relax and cool down before releasing it deeper into the jungle, far away from anyone.
