Photographers across the south of England have been sharing their pictures of the Beaver supermoon.

The largest, brightest Moon of the year rose on Wednesday with many areas of Dorset, Hampshire, Berkshire and Oxfordshire lucky enough to have a clear sky.

The Beaver Moon was bigger and brighter than earlier supermoons this year due to the fact that it is the closest full Moon to Earth.

The name Beaver Moon follows a longstanding tradition of nicknaming supermoons.

While there is some disagreement as to the origins of the name, some sources attribute it to First Nations tribes in North America historically setting beaver traps in November.

BBC Weather Watchers have been sharing their photos.
