British Wildlife Photography Awards: Collection 2
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Other eye-catching pictures among the 170 in this beautifully produced volume include a wood mouse silhouetted on the shelf of a garden shed, an osprey hooking a fish at Aviemore, fallow stags in Devon festooned with greenery in the rutting season, and 17-year-old Bertie Gregory's vertiginous view of peregrine falcon chicks nested high over south London. A thrilling celebration of nature and photography alike.
