Close-up wildlife photography will be on show at an exhibition being held by university students this week.
Work by Uni of Cumbria second-year wildlife media students on show ranges from a stunning picture of a seemingly startled shag bird by Samuel Richardson to a series of photos of fungi by Nathan Greening.
The pop-up exhibition, which is open from 9am to 12pm, and 1pm to 3pm until Sunday at Intro on Paternoster Row, Carlisle, aims to highlight the threats to the UK’s wildlife caused by loss of habitat and pollution.
Daniel Peters is displaying some close-up photography of bees.
He said “I wanted to focus on the decrease in vital insect pollinators including bees, flies, and wasps, among others.
"Insects like these often go unnoticed but play a huge part in maintaining our way of life.
“If you see me in a bush or laying by the side of the road, then chances are I’m OK and just immersed in a whole different tiny world.”
Laura Baxter, course leader of the BA Wildlife Media degree, said: "Our second-year BA Wildlife Media students have worked brilliantly as a team to install their exhibition at Intro.
“It is a great venue for a pop-up exhibition and I hope the public enjoy seeing their work."
