The Winners and Highly Commended of this year’s Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards competition have been revealed.
The top prize goes to Jennifer Hadley for ‘Not so cat-like reflexes’, her excellent image of a young lion cub learning – the hard way – how to come down a tree. Jennifer said ‘he nimbly dropped to the ground, then scampered off with his siblings!’ Typical.
