May highlights from Nature Picture Library

New material on our site this month comes from all corners of the globe. Claudio Contreras reveals the riches of Mexico’s Guadalupe Island, Franco Banfi dives into the underwater world of Italy’s Amalfi Coast and Tony Wu goes in search of flying squirrels in Japan. We also have indigenous people from Madagascar, Bolivia and Papua New Guinea, and a great variety of wildlife, marine life, plants and landscapes worldwide.

Read the stories behind the images in our latest blog or browse the full image set in our gallery. And if you are looking for a gift idea or print for your wall, why not check out our prints site?

Enjoy the journey – and if you’d like to license any of these images, then please do get in touch. We’d love to hear from you!
