- Published

This photograph took overall first place and was taken by a photography duo. Karsten Mosebach, one half of the duo, said: “Barn swallows are fast flyers. They cut through the air at top speed, swerving around obstacles blazingly fast und unexpected. Our eyes can hardly follow their daredevil manoeuvres." The photo shows a barn swallow in full flight and it's been named 'Turbo Swallow'. What a picture!

This photograph won in the 'Mammal' category and is called 'The King Court and his Fool' and was taken by last year's overall winner Peter Lindel.

Look at this guy skip! This photo won in the 'Other Animals' category and was named 'Mudskipper' and you can see why! The photo was taken by photographer Scott Portelli.

The winner of the 'Plants and Fungi' category was Stefan Imig with this photo called 'Porcelain Fungi'.
