The Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition blew my socks off when I first visited it at London’s Natural History Museum a number of years ago, and I have made sure to get along to it every year since.

The exhibition inspires a sense of awe at the mystery, power and beauty of nature that will deeply touch lovers of the natural world yet won’t escape mainstream audiences. Past exhibitions have included breathtaking landscapes, stunning images of microscopic fungi and truly amazing visuals of animals and plants at their most beautiful.

The 100 odd images that are captured in the exhibition are chosen from 40,000 entries from across the globe, with categories including:

• Eric Hosking Award – Photojournalist of the Year Award
• Animals in Their Environment – Behaviour Birds
• Behaviour mammals – Behaviour all other animals
• Underworld world – Animal portraits
• In Praise of Plants and Fungi – Urban Wildlife
• Nature in Black and White – Creative Visions of Nature
• Wild Places – Photographer 10 years and under
• Photographer 11 – 14 years – Photographer 15-17 years
