Nose-y neighbours ... Squirrel and Bee, winner of the Mammal Photographer of the Year 2024. “Two different worlds in one interaction are captured beautifully here,” said judge Craig Jones. “The look of wonder and curiosity from the squirrel looking at the bee tells such a wonderful story.” Gary Watson, who took the photograph, won a trail camera courtesy of WildCare. “This beautiful wee red squirrel was playing in the trees in a spot I frequent near Elgin,” he said. “It just so happened that the bee flew by. It’s lovely the things you see when you sit and wait for nature to come to you”
