Photo of the Day

Each day we feature a photograph by a reader on our social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram and Twitter) as our Photo of the Day.

To be considered for Photo of the Day, photographers should use #BBCWildlifePOTD on their social media posts.

Images should include the common English and/or scientific names of the species, and the location of the photograph.

If you do not have social media, you can e-mail Megan Shersby. Please do not send more than three images at time. It is best to send low-resolution images to begin with, as our e-mail systems often reject e-mails with large attachments.

Other ways to contribute photos to BBC Wildlife Magazine

If you are a professional photographer and would like to submit photos to BBC Wildlife Magazine, or would like to submit an image with a letter for our Feedback pages, details can be found on our Contact Us page. 

Be inspired by our online wildlife photography galleries

BBC Wildlife Magazine hosts a number of galleries on our website, featuring stunning wildlife images from around the world.
Melting ice sheet with massive waterfalls running off the Austfonna glacier, eastern Svalbard, Norway. Austfonna glacier on Nordaustlandet in the Svalbard archipelago is Europe’s third-largest glacier by area and volume and with a glacier wall of around 200 kilometres, it is an impressive sight. During the last decades, every month has brought new record high temperatures in the Arctic, and the ice cap on Nordaustlandet is melting at high speed. The meltwater starts as small streams but eventually gathers in larger, almost river-like systems, that finally pour off the steep wall. Meltwater also finds its way down under the ice cap and makes the foundation weak. This results in a collapse which pushes the ice out into the Arctic Ocean. This so-called surge has already been happening over several years. The current situation in Svalbard is that the average glacier retracts by 80 meters a year, with some of them by up to 300 meters. Climate change has an enormous impact on the Arctic and it is happening now. Mandatory credit: © Roy Mangersnes / naturepl.com

Remembering Elephants

A very large flock of pink-footed geese against a white background of snow (photo taken in winter), with some very pale trees in the background. Much of the frame is taken up by birds in the air, some of which are relatively close to the camera. There are also many birds on the ground.
