Wildlife Photographer of the Year at Guernsey

It is the final day of the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition in Guernsey on Sunday.

The exhibition, on display from the Natural History Museum in London, opened at the Guernsey Museums in January.

The award-winning photographs are on a world-wide tour allowing more then a million people to see them.

This year there were 49,957 entries from 95 countries capturing animals and the natural world.

Dr Doug Gurr, director of the Natural History Museum, said: "We are facing urgent biodiversity and climate crises, and photography is a powerful catalyst for change.

"The Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition reveals some of nature's most wondrous sights whilst offering hope and achievable actions visitors can take to help protect the natural world."

Guernsey Museums has confirmed that it will host the 60th anniversary exhibition next year.

Chair of the competition's judging panel, Kathy Moran, said: "What most impressed the jury was the range of subjects, from absolute beauty, rarely seen behaviours and species to images that are stark reminders of what we are doing to the natural world.

"We felt a powerful tension between wonder and woe that we believe came together to create a thought-provoking collection of photographs."
