Reach for the light <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n

I was very lucky to shoot this little Indian paradise flycatcher chick when the light was falling upon its home. I was there for a safari walk and at midday I came across this nest, where the parents were also present. After a few minutes, the parents went in search of food and it was at that time that I took this picture. I was so charmed to see the way the sunrays fell upon the nest. <\/span>Ehsanul <\/em>Haque, <\/em>Jessore, <\/em>Bangladesh<\/em><\/p>\n\n

Best foot forward <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n

April is the start of the great rainy season in Kenya. Lake Amboseli is dry most of the time but when the rain is abundant it fills up, to the delight of the animals. I watched a herd of blue wildebeest approach the water to drink. One of them decided to cross the lake with a firm step. Although there was no danger, the rest of the group seemed reluctant to follow. Alexandre <\/em>B\u00e8s, <\/em>France <\/em><\/p>\n\n

Snack snatch <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n

Crayfish are not normally on the menu for the white-faced ibis (whose faces are not actually white until the breeding season), but they, like many animals, are opportunists and don\u2019t pass up the nutritious meat of a crayfish if they find one.

Now you see me <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n

Siokunichthys breviceps <\/em>is a pipefish that lives amongst soft coral. Only 5cm long and well camouflaged, it is hard to spot. In the Romblon archipelago in the Philippines, I was very lucky to capture this one curiously peeking out. Liang <\/em>Fu, <\/em>Beijing, <\/em>China <\/em><\/p>\n\n

In the mood for love <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n

On a fall morning in Grand Teton National Park, I was looking for bull moose to photograph. This one was bedded down for some time before getting up to follow a cow. Tiffany <\/em>Taxis, <\/em>Jackson, <\/em>Wyoming, <\/em>USA <\/em><\/p>\n\n

Burn bright <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n

It was magical to watch this great egret suddenly transformed into a mythical phoenix against the backdrop of the setting sun at Mangalajodi wetland in Odisha. Arpan <\/em>Saha, <\/em>Kolkata, <\/em>India <\/em><\/p>\n\n

Better together <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n

Red weaver ants exhibit a highly unusual nest-building behaviour: sticking leaves together using silk produced by their larvae. One group lines up the edges of two leaves, a second group holds them in place, and a third binds them with the silk. Chamara Sulakkhana, Sri Lanka <\/em><\/p>\n\n
