This year’s best Wildlife Photographer of the Year captions

In this year’s Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition we asked you to write a caption to make us laugh for two images – Eviction Attempt by Ganesh H. Shankar and I Spy with my Raven Eye by José Juan Hernández Martínez.

We had hundreds of entries and after a lot of sifting we have selected a few favourites. We picked runners up and a winner for each image before picking an overall winner who has won a year’s family pass to Bristol Zoo Gardens.

Captions do not represent the views of Bristol City Council.
