Wildlife Photographer of the Year: Unforgettable Behaviour

Description

These are the most memorable images of animal behaviour from the prestigious Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition. They have been specially selected for this unique book from the hundred of thousands of images received over the last 50 years. From a flamingo courtship dance to Amazon river dolphins playing water polo, the images show extraordinary, surprising and often deeply moving acts of animal behaviour. Each photograph is accompanied by a short story describing how the picture came to be taken and its importance both photographically and as a record of an unforgettable moment. The collection gives us a glimpse into an often hidden world of love, death, survival and joy, and many of these award-winning images have inspired photographers and others to better understand the lives of our fellow animals. Capturing animal behaviour as it has rarely been seen before, this beautiful book is a must-have for photographers and all those with a passion for animals.

This world-famous Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition is a showcase for the very best in wildlife photography and has been for more than 50 years. The competition takes place annually and is open to all photographers. It seeks to encourage the art of nature photography in all its forms and champion the work of those who practice it.

'Images that have the power to affect how we feel about the natural world and therefore how we treat it. It's a collection that will make you think.' Sir David Attenborough on 'Wildlife Photographer of the Year: Masters of Nature Photography'
