It was only just over a month go that I did my last photography post (Gr8at: Wildlife Photographer of the Year), but I always like sharing great photographs with you all. These are from the 2019 British Ecological Society, as seen from on the Guardian website. Which do you think won? Do you have a favourite?
Red night by Roberto García Roa (University of Valencia), taken in Madagascar. García Roa certainly got closer than most people would!
For the love of Flamingos by Peter Hudson (Penn State University), taken over Lake Magadi, Kenya. A heart-shaped delight.
Fluorescence by Roberto García Roa (University of Valencia), taken in Madagascar. With purple being my favourite colour and scorpion being my poker nickname I just had to include this.
Watchful by Khristian V. Valencia (University of Antioquia), taken in San Cipriano nature reserve, Colombia. A nicely taken shot of the clouded snake (Sibon nebulatus).
Small warrior by Roberto García Roa (University of Valencia), taken in Malaysia. The black background works so well.
Why did the sloth cross the road? by Andrew Whitworth (Osa Conservation and University of Glasgow), taken in Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica. Maybe it was to see Zootropolis, where sloths memorably feature.
Harlequin by Khristian V Valencia (University of Antioquia), taken in San Cipriano nature reserve, Colombia. As they are heading towards extinction, we must cherish Harlequin frogs while we can.
Are you seeing the same as me by Pablo Javier Merlo (Nacional University of Córdoba), taken from Beagle Channel, in Argentina. A cow and a chimango have a relaxed moment looking out on the Andes.

These are absolutely stunning pictures. I can’t decide which is my favourite, they’re all brilliant! I do love the close-up of the sloth though. 🙂
I know. Just sitting there like he would on a couch. Totally relaxed!
Absolutely WOW 🤩💛💛💛
I know. All great but the top one is my favourite. It was the overall winner too which was a neat bonus.
Yessss it’s quite crazy mission – to hang out there to take such pic with this dangerous creature …
Well to make great art it helps to be a little crazy
😂🤸♂️ yep
Well I loved the top one so powerful but as a Scorpio I had a connection with our scorpion friend in the purple 💜.
Purple is such a wonderful colour. And Autumn is a nice season to have your birthday in for sure.
But… when my brothers got two celebrations separated, one in summer and Christmas in winter, and I had to wait for both in Winter 😡 lol 😂
I don’t know what will win, but I adore the last pic.
Why did the sloth cross the road is my second!
I can just imagine the two listening to some Otist Redding whie they’re chilling haha. And yeah, that sloth shot is so memorable. They’re not exactly the most active animals so you’d think they’d be in more photos.
