July highlights from Nature Picture Library

Northern spadefoot (Notaden melanoscaphus) adult male with vocal sac inflated, calling, Howard River sand flats, Northern Territory, Australia, January.

This month there is a strong antipodean flavour to our latest highlights. New contributor Etienne Littlefair has great coverage on Australian wildlife, Doug Gimesy has photographed the critically endangered regent honeybird, and Tui De Roy has sent us fascinating coverage on New Zealand’s iconic kiwis.

We also have lots of new material from the tropics with Alex Hyde’s Borneo coverage and South American material from Karine Aigner and Maxime Aliaga. Closer to home you will find British wildlife, Andalucian wolves, and marine life from the Canaries and Italy’s Amalfi Coast. Roland Seitre has contributed a range of rare rodents, and from North America watch out for the 17 year periodical cicada, for which species 2021 has been a big year!

Read the stories behind the images in our July highlights blog, check out the full selection in our July highlights gallery, and of course you can order a print from our new print gallery.
