For November's competition, we asked you to submit your favourite British animal - ONLY using natural items that you can find outside. Your entries were terrific! Lots of you went out and collected colourful leaves, spiky pine-cones and funny-shaped sticks to create some magical masterpieces!
Brendan, age 8, North Yorkshire: Owl
We love Brendan's owl! It's so impressive. Those strong, wide wings and big eyes make this owl a mighty predator! What super materials Brendan has collected.
Ethan, age 9, Evesham: Badger, ferret and field mice
"I have made a badger head from a chunk of wood I found, a ferret in a late autumn coat out of a recycled kitchen roll tube, and we also used a teasel head and pampas grass. I also made two field mice out of teasel heads and some leaves for ears and pampas grass for a tail and I used googly eyes on the mice."
Ethan's natural creations are great. He truly has a good eye for weaving together lots of natural resources to create exciting animals! Well done.

The Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition, produced by the Natural History Museum, never fails to amaze, and 2024 was no exception. Thousands of incredible images were submitted, but only a few made it to the People’s Choice Award.
