It was a very dry season the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park and several small birds came to the waterhole to drink water. So did a small pride of lions. The birds arrived in flocks – especially early in the morning. These birds came in flocks to sit for a second on the edge of the waterhole before taking off again. In the photo a flock of a variety of small birds including Cape sparrows took off while one of the lions was drinking water. However, the lioness kept an eye on the birds in the backgro Credit: Willem Kruger, British Ecological Society

Photographed near Malaysia’s capital, several Wallace's Flying Frogs (Rhacophorus nigropalmatus) had descended from the rainforest canopy to breed in a temporary rain-filled puddle. Named after biologist Alfred Russel Wallace, this frog is well-adapted to life in the forest canopy, using webbed feet to glide between trees. Credit: Jamal Kabir, British Ecological Society

At Sanaga-Yong Sanctuary, a team of technicians and veterinarians from this sanctuary and from Ape Action Africa, both centres coordinated by the Pan African Sanctuary Alliance, examine a chimpanzee undergoing long-term rehabilitation after being rescued from trafficking. These experts must be prepared to handle every individual and every case resulting from trafficking and poaching. Credit: Roberto García-Roa, British Ecological Society
