A leopard hiding her prey, hedgehog reflections, an ant collecting nectar and even frosted leaves all feature in the shortlist for the 10th Scottish Seabird Centre Nature Photography Awards 2015.

With over 500 entries, the 100 shortlised photographs focusing on wildlife, plant life, the environment and landscapes are on display in the Scottish Seabird Centre in North Berwick – and we’re delighted to be able to share a few of our favourites on The Scots Mag’s website (above).

For the first time video shorts were also invited and 8 shortlisted videos from the natural world are also being shown.

‘An extra special year’

“For our 10th anniversary we really wanted to make this an extra special year,” said Tom Brock OBE, Chief Executive of the Scottish Seabird Centre.

“It’s fantastic to see that our two new categories really captured the imagination of so many skilled photographers and videographers, who have demonstrated their appreciation for the natural world. We now look forward to photography fans far and wide visiting the exhibition and voting for their favourite.”

The closing date for votes is Sunday 21 February 2016

In each category there will be a winner selected by the judges and a winner selected by the voting public – vote online at www.seabird.org or when visiting The Scottish Seabird Centre.

The closing date for votes is Sunday 21 February 2016 and the winners will be unveiled at an awards ceremony at the Centre on Thursday, February 25, 2016.

Winning photographers have the opportunity to secure prizes including trips to the Isle of May National Nature Reserve featuring workshops with judge Lorne Gill and former winner Tom Langlands; short breaks with Ardgour Estate and Ardtornish Estate; day trips with Isle of Mull Wildlife Expeditions and Rabbie’s Tours; and vouchers for Northshots Photo Adventures.
