London Natural History Museum chose the most striking wildlife photographs of 2023. This year the jury reviewed almost 50,000 applications from photographers from 95 countries.

So far, only some of the winners have been published online, and the works of all the winners will be shown at a special exhibition on October 13.

The Grand Prix was won for the second time in the history of the award by French biologist and photographer Laurent Ballesta. This time the jury was captivated by a series of his photographs with endangered horseshoe crabs.

Carmel Bechler from Israel won this category. He captured barn owls nesting in an abandoned roadside building.
