This shot was taken in Kiskunság National Park, Hungary. I watched as a roller flew into a starling nest and threw out the chicks. I waited there until the starlings eventually returned – they were livid. The male starling used its talons to grab the roller by the neck and fiercely drove it out of the nest.

Stenaelurillus jumping spider in Bangalore are simply amazing. After the image was taken, another male appeared, then a female. The males started to fight each other to establish dominance.

2 Lost at sea
This juvenile humpback whale was spotted alone two days in a row. Here, it is following a group of dolphins, as though trying to make friends. This encounter was one of the most beautiful, yet sad experiences I’ve had. Kohei Ueno, Tokyo, Japan
3 A long, hard look
I took this picture while conducting research on gelada monkey behaviour in the highlands of Ethiopia. Geladas are the last remaining species of their genus. As such, they are a critical study species in attempting to unravel the secrets of primate evolution.

As the day warmed up in Keoladeo National Park, India, these Indian roofed turtles came out of the water to bask in the sunshine. The turtles are very shy – I was amazed to see them so close. Sudhanshu Tiwari, Indore, India

One of the most southern National Parks in Finland, Sipoonkorpi is just 5km from my front door. The northern spinach butterfly is a common sight there. A recent study also found more than 300 species of butterflies and moths in the area.
