Bertie Gregory Instagram – I’m very excited to be a winner at this year’s Wildlife Photographer Of The Year competition @nhm_wpy! This image of three wave washing killer whales hunting a Weddell seal picked up the ‘Behaviour: Mammals’ category prize at last night’s awards ceremony at the Natural History Museum in London. While I was the one lucky enough to push the shutter button, this image was a huge team effort and based on over a decade of work from several different groups. So a huge thank you to the BBC Frozen Planet 1 team who first filmed this incredible behaviour for television back in 2009. Thank you to the Frozen Planet 2 team who I returned with 10 years later to follow the behaviour for the first time with drones. Finally, thanks to the ‘Animals Up Close’ team at @wildstarfilms who I worked with most recently to document these killer whales. Check out the ‘Antarctic Killer Waves’ episode on Disney to see the pod pictured in action! @bbcearth @natgeo | Posted on 11/Oct/2023 18:47:17
