    The photo above, of grooming macaques, was taken by Roberto Garcia Roa. He cleaned up at this years British Ecological Society ‘Capturing Ecology’ Photography Competition, taking home multiple awards.

    All of the photos were taken by students or ecologists from across the globe.

    According to New Atlas, the winners were chosen by a six-strong panel of ecologists and wildlife photographers and will go on display at the Ulster Museum in Belfast, Northern Ireland, in February 2020.

    We chose our 10 favourite photos from the winning pool, which are great to stare at as you dream of the weekend.

    Andrew Whitworth took top prize in the ‘People and Nature’ category for this shot of a female three-toed sloth crossing the road:

    Roberto García Roa won the overall award for this photograph of a Malagasy tree boa:

    He also nabbed a third award in the ‘Up Close and Personal’ category for his photograph of a scorpion under ultraviolet light:

    Andrea Parisi was commended for his shot of a gannet and its baby:

    Peter Hudson captured this bee-eater regurgitating the remains of a bee, earning him a commendation.

    I think Roa missed his calling as a nature photographer.

    If that didn’t satisfy your need for nature, check out the winners of ‘Nature Photographer of the Year, or hop on over to Nat Geo’s best animal snaps of 2019.

    It’s Friday – chill a little.
