Winner, portfolio

Mountain Echidna: ‘I followed this short-beaked echidna for two days [in Main Range, New South Wales], its little tracks in the fresh snow leading me for kilometres to every dead tree and tuft of grass on the snow-covered range. When I finally tracked it down it was over 2,000 metres above sea level and not bothered in the slightest about being surrounded by snow and ice. Photograph: Charles Davis/South Australian Museum.

Winner, our impact

The Watering Hole:The Menindee Lakes were deliberately drained in 2016-17 and NSW has experienced a lengthy drought. Animals and birds desperately seek food and water and there is very little left. Lake Cawndilla is now just a drying lakebed scattered with the remains of our native animals. Photograph: Melissa Williams/South Australian Museum.
