Your photos

This photo was taken when I went to Chongming Island, China, in 2017. Two young black-crowned night herons were arguing for quite a while and the noise caught my attention. I quickly took the shot and was thrilled to catch this moment.

1 Flora and fauna

We discovered this peacock day gecko among the flowers. It provided a welcome respite to the strenuous hiking on our tour of Madagascar in 2018. We loved how the plant showed off this animal. James Douse, Chelmsford

2 Peek-a-boo

I spotted this bronze grass skink climbing through a hole in a dry leaf in Jessore Sloth Bear Sanctuary, India, during the monsoon season. I took the shot silently, without moving, so as not to disturb the reptile. Anuj Raina, Gujarat, India

3 Taking flight

I visited a lake near my home to photograph some water birds. After a few minutes, this Indian spot-billed duck swam across the water and decided to fly off. I felt very lucky and glad to capture this frame. Naveen S, Tamil Nadu, India

4 Gotcha!

We were on the shore of Laguna Amarga in Chile when we spotted these young South American grey foxes. A blur of activity – chasing each other, running and jumping – they were a challenge to photograph. David and Shiela Glatz, Illinois, USA

5 Caught off guard

During a trek through Virunga National Park, a huge figure materialised from the shadows. With no time to change my lens, I decided to snap a tight portrait. Captivated, I only realised I had sat in gorilla poo when we returned to camp. Jack Lammas, London
