An exhibition of award-winning wildlife images taken by photographers from around the world is set to go on display in East Yorkshire.

The Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition will open at Sewerby Hall and Gardens, near Bridlington, in May, East Riding of Yorkshire Council announced.

The exhibition, on loan from the Natural History Museum in London, features images of animal behaviour and the natural world, with the competition marking its 60th anniversary.

Nick Coultish, from the council, said it was a "real pleasure" to host the collection, with the images on display from 3 May until 13 July.
