Jeanette Sakel, a linguistics lecturer and keen wildlife photographer, saw the photo opportunity during her lunch break on campus.

¡°I had brought in my camera to see if I could capture the year¡¯s first dragonflies at the pond. I noticed movement just below the water¡¯s surface: a myriad of tadpoles, swirling at great speed around the water, forming intricate patterns,¡± she said.

The picture won the Close to Nature category in the awards.
