An image capturing a squirrel stuck in a tree has won the top prize at this year’s Nikon Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards.

Photographer Milko Marchetti’s “Stuck Squirrel” stood out among over 9,000 submissions, the largest in the competition’s decade-long history. The image shows the squirrel in a humorous pose trying to enter its hide in a tree trunk, chosen from a shortlist of 45 finalists. The competition also announced winners in nine other categories.

Congratulations to Milko Marchetti who has been revealed as the winner of this year’s Nikon Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards for his image, Stuck Squirrel! All the winners feature an exhibition at Gallery@Oxo in London until 15 December – see @OxoTowerWharf.

Marchetti commented, “I’ve photographed squirrels in Italy for years, but this particular photo caught my attention for its humour and oddity. It always gets laughs at nature seminars, which inspired me to submit it.”

Stefan Maier, senior general manager of marketing at Nikon Europe, praised the winning photo, saying, “Marchetti’s shot wonderfully captures the spontaneous and whimsical moments nature offers.”

Kevin Lohman’s footage of a red fox enjoying a frosty morning won the top prize in the video section.
