BWPA 2016 Winners
Overall Winner
“Hitchhikers” by George Stoyle.
Lion’s mane jellyfish. St Kilda, off the Island of Hirta, Scotland.
“I was working for Scottish Natural Heritage on a project to assess the current biological status of major sea caves around some of the UK’s most remote islands. At the end of one of the dives I was swimming back to the boat when I came face to ‘face’ with the largest jellyfish I’d ever encountered. As I approached cautiously I noticed a number of juvenile fish had taken refuge inside the stinging tentacles.” - George Stoyle
