An Arctic walrus, a football covered in barnacles and three frogs in a compromising position are among the winners of this year’s award.
A football floats on the surface of the Atlantic Sea; it looks like new from above the water, but below a huge collection of barnacles have attached themselves to the ball. The image, taken by Ryan Stalker, was chosen as the grand prize winner for the 2024 British Wildlife Photography Awards . The award, in its 12th year, showcases Britain’s nature, from its woodlands and wetlands to other ecosystems.
From initially being lost, then spending time in the tropics where the barnacles are native and perhaps years in the open ocean before arriving in Dorset,” he said in a press release. However, the photo also sheds light on a potential environmental issue. “This waste can also bring creatures that may survive in UK waters and could become invasive species. More human waste in the sea could increase the risk of more creatures making it to our shores,” he said.
