13-year-old Georgia Dicks was named winner of the child category in the Cotswold Wildlife Park photography competition.

She impressed the judges with her photo of two yellow mongooses sharing a tender moment.

Judges had a mammoth task on their hands to select winners of the competition, which is now in it's fifth year.

A record number of entries were received for the competition which took on a 'natural instincts' theme.

The competition encourages young people to connect with nature through photography and includes a specific category for entrants aged 16 and under.

Winners of the adult and child categories win a season ticket to Cotswold Wildlife Park and Gardens and their photographs will be made into postcards available in the gift shop.

The Park's next photography competition launches on Friday, August 25. Entries can be uploaded on the Park's website or by emailing photos@cotswoldwildlifepark.co.uk
