Winner, Black & White: “Guillemot Kingdom” by Mark Kirkland
The winners of the British Wildlife Photography Awards 2025 have been announced, and Simon Withyman took the overall win with a delightful capture of a fox patrolling the city center of the southern English city of Bristol. The shot, which was one of more than 13,000 other entries, also won the Urban Wildlife category.
But, of course, there were winning images in other categories that underwater shooters will find particularly interesting. Two underwater images stood out in the Black & White category, for instance: category winner by DPG Photographer of the Week Mark Kirkland and a Highly Commended shot by regular DPG contributor Henley Spiers. In the Coast & Marine category, it was another DPG Photographer of the Week, Nick More, who took the category win. It was great to see underwater shots being recognized in other categories, too, including Habitat and Urban Wildlife.
To see all the winning images, head over to the British Wildlife Photography Awards website.
