The image was taken whilst Fitzpatrick was swimming off of Lady Elliot Island in Queensland, Australia. As the turtle is swimming, its flipper is pulled back by the water and gives this unique pose.

“A huge thank you to the Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards, I’m stoked and honoured to be awarded the Comedy Wildlife Photographer of the Year for 2020,” said Fitzpatrick. “It’s been amazing to see the reaction to my photo, with Terry giving people a laugh in what has been a difficult year for many, as well as helping spread an important conservation message. Hopefully Terry the Turtle can encourage more people to take a moment and think about how much our incredible wildlife depend on us and what we can do to help them. Flippers crossed that this award puts Terry in a better mood the next time I see him at Lady Elliot Island!”

Fitzpatrick wins a once-in-a-lifetime safari in the Maasai Mara, as well as a host of other goodies.
