See the world’s most breathtaking wildlife photography in London
THE BBC WILDLIFE MAGAZINE AND THE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM, LONDON
team up every year to promote an appreciative attitude towards the
natural world and the value of conservation. The result is the Veolia
Environment Wildlife Photographer of the Year, a prestigious
international photography competition. The best work submitted is
exhibited at the Natural History Museum before going on tour to more
than 70 cities worldwide, and the overall winner receives £10,000.
Breathtakingly brilliant, the photography attracts large audiences –
more than one million visitors are expected to see the show in London
and on tour. The images are wide-ranging in theme. This year, entrants
have captured awe-inspiring sights, such as millions of vividly
coloured butterflies migrating, above; dramatic moments, such as black-headed gulls attempting to steal food from a puffin’s beak, centre right; and animals living in the heart of the city, like these rabbits in a park near the Arc de Triomphe, Paris, right. Not to be missed for nature lovers. Kimberley Chen The
winning and commended images are at the Natural History Museum,
London, until 11 March and in Belfast from 26 March to 15 May
