2010 - December Highlights 2010 (91) More files...
Great images from every part of the world have been added to our site over the last month.

Anup Shah and Suzi Eszterhas have provided great African wildlife, while Nick Garbutt and Mary McDonald have been working on rainforest creatures, Hanne and Jens Eriksen have visited Oman to document Middle Eastern wildlife, and Gerrit Vyn has sent us images of the impact of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill on the wildlife of the region.



We've also added great British and European winter birds by Markus Varesvuo, Paul Hobson and Ross Hoddinott, plus strong British coastal scenese and dolphins. Laurent Geslin has given us more striking urban wildlife images from Paris and London, while David Fleetham and Georgette Douwma demonstrate the startling colours of the underwater world.
