An exhibition of award-winning wildlife images taken by photographers from around the world is set to go on display in East Yorkshire.

The Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition will open at Sewerby Hall and Gardens, near Bridlington, in May, East Riding of Yorkshire Council announced.

The exhibition, on loan from the Natural History Museum in London, features images of animal behaviour and the natural world, with the competition marking its 60th anniversary.

Nick Coultish, from the council, said it was a "real pleasure" to host the collection, with the images on display from 3 May until 13 July.

Wildlife Photographer of the Year's 2024 winners were announced in October.

The competition received almost 60,000 entries from photographers of all ages from 117 countries and territories.

Coultish, who is responsible for culture, leisure and tourism, said: ''The images capture both the beauty and diversity of the natural world and we hope that visitors will enjoy exploring the fascinating collection on display this year.''

Rain in Southern California will aid firefighters but create a risk of toxic ash runoff
Rain began falling in parched Southern California on Saturday in a boon for firefighters who were mopping up multiple wildfires. Los Angeles County crews spent much of the week removing vegetation, shoring up slopes and reinforcing roads in devastated areas of the Palisades and Eaton fires, which reduced entire neighborhoods to rubble and ash after breaking out during powerful winds Jan. 7. Most of the region was expected to get get around an inch (about 2.5 centimeters) of precipitation over several days, but “the threat is high enough to prepare for the worst-case scenario” of localized cloudbursts causing mud and debris to flow down hills, the National Weather Service said on social media.
