We love it when new images from our camera traps come in – clandestine photos taken of the hidden world deep within our rainforest projects, revealing the wildlife that calls the forests home and that we rarely get the privilege to see. Amongst the hundreds of photos that come in, there’s one or two gems that completely blow us away.
One such photo was the amazing shot of the forest chimpanzees taken in the Gola Rainforest National Park which we shared with you last Christmas. In fact we loved the photo so much that we entered it into the BBC Wildlife Camera-trap photo of the year competition. It looks like the judges loved it too as we were awarded commended in the animal portraits category, which isn’t too shabby at all considering the competition!
All the winners, runners up and commended photos are now up on the BBC Wildlife website for you to see so if you’ve got a spare couple minutes, grab a cuppa and enjoy! We'd love to know which one's your favourite...
