Naturalist, author and wildlife television producer, Stephen Moss, said: “Once again, this collection of images leaves us in awe of the skill, patience and artistry of the photographers whose work is showcased here.

“The extraordinary range of subjects, species and habitats, and the imaginative way they are portrayed, leaves us in no doubt that we in Britain are fortunate to be home to some of the most talented photographers in the world.

“But stunning though this book is, it is not simply a collection of beautiful images, preserved like museum specimens for us to enjoy.

“It is also a snapshot of Britain’s diverse and beautiful wildlife, at a time when these wild creatures – and the places where they live – are under threat as never before.”
