The 15th annual Scottish Nature Photography Awards winners have been announced.
Nicki Gwynn-Jones, who lives in Orkney, won the main prize with a picture of a fulmar in a rain shower on a cold December day.
She said it was the middle of the day and the sun was low in the sky.
“I was desperately hoping for something special in those few moments when the raking winter light was producing deep shadows and gorgeous golden tones,” said Nicki.
Edinburgh filmmaker Richard Nicholls won the video award with a short film called 19th July 2022, which looked at climate change and Scotland.
He was filming in Edinburgh on Scotland’s hottest day when the unusually high temperature spurred him into embarking on a project on the climate crisis.
The film documents his journey working with NatureScot’s Peatland Action team to raise awareness of the need to restore peatland.
