Share Your Funniest Wildlife Photos with Mansfield Museum!
Have you ever captured a squirrel pulling a funny face, a bird striking an unusual pose, or a cheeky fox caught at just the right moment?
This autumn, Mansfield Museum is inviting wildlife lovers and photographers of all ages to become part of our brand-new exhibition, Comedy Wildlife, by sharing their own hilarious wildlife photographs.
Opening on Saturday 5 September 2026 and running until Saturday 2 January 2027, Comedy Wildlife showcases a fantastic collection of award-winning images from the Nikon Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards. The exhibition celebrates the lighter side of nature, featuring perfectly timed photographs that capture animals in their funniest, most unexpected moments.
Alongside these internationally recognised images, we're creating a special Comedy Wildlife Wall of Fame, featuring photographs submitted by our visitors and local community.
Whether you're an experienced wildlife photographer or simply snapped a funny moment while out for a walk, we'd love to see your pictures. From laughing gulls and mischievous squirrels to curious deer and comical garden birds, if your photograph makes people smile, we want to see it!
To take part, simply email your favourite comedy wildlife photograph to mansfieldmuseum@mansfield.gov.uk. Please include your name, where the photograph was taken, and (if you'd like) a short caption telling us about the moment you captured.
Selected photographs will be displayed on our Comedy Wildlife Wall of Fame throughout the exhibition, giving visitors the chance to enjoy the wonderful sense of humour found in the natural world.
