An owl dangling precariously from a branch has scooped the overall prize of the 2017 Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards.
Out of
the 3,500 entries, Tibor Kercz won the overall prize with his series of images
showing an owl losing its footing and trying to claw its way back onto a
branch.
Other
entrants included a yawning dormouse, a photobombing sea turtle and a rather
shocked seal.
