Three’s a Crowd. Hidden Britain, Winner. “I think I have a slight addiction to photographing blue butterflies—I just love them! They are such beautiful little insects, and they enhance any wildflower meadow or garden they inhabit. Blues are quite social insects, and they can often be found roosting quite close together—or even on the same grass or flower. I found a dozen or so blues all resting close together one evening last summer.”

Organizers of the 2024 British Wildlife Photography Awards just announced their collection of winners and runners-up. More than 14,000 images were submitted in 11 different categories, celebrating the wildlife and wild spaces found across the United Kingdom. Competition organizers were kind enough to share some of this year’s amazing images below. Captions were provided by the photographers.

Daisy Danger. Hidden Britain, Runner-up. “This photo was taken in a patch of land along the A30 in Devon that has been left untouched for a long time, making it a haven for wildflowers and the wildlife that inhabits it. Using the Laowa wide-angle macro lens, I aimed to capture this scene. While walking, I came across a flower crab spider wrestling with a bee on an ox-eye daisy.” # © Lucien Harris / British Wildlife Photography Awards
