Feral animals caught in their best - and worst - light by photographers

Following them were cats, horses and deer.

So it was only fitting when the public voting system selected Lucca Amorim's fox picture as the winner.

Mr Amorim calls his picture The Hidden Observer, and took the picture on the side of road near Mudgee, NSW.

“I saw the juvenile fox early in the morning as I was driving along the roadside, and I was pretty certain it was hiding among the bushes to avoid being spotted by a native prey animal,” he said.

“I am glad my image can raise more awareness of the threat foxes have on native wildlife.”

A major prize was taken out by Simon Ferguson who captured the moment a willie wagtail harassed a feral cat wandering near Tennant Creek.
