Nature Photography

If you’re a nature lover, look out for our wildlife photography. Our stunning cover image of a puffin with a mouthful of sand eels was captured by Nigel Hodson on a trip to Skomer Island in Wales.

: Watching thousands of wildebeest crossing the Mara river is a sight to behold. The expedition is one of the most daring challenges wildebeest take on in their lives as they battle not only the ferocity of the flowing river, but also the lurking apex predators.
