Here’s a mid-week bonus from my ongoing BC road trip. When I first spotted this large black bear, he was rubbing on the power pole seen here to his left, but by the time I […]
An unusual view for an Atlantic Puffin, but I could’t resist this guy stretching out his neck and ‘looking to the sky’. Probably nothing really was going through his mind, but sometimes we find ourselves […]
Today’s Friday Flashback is from 27th March 2017 and is entitled ‘Stepping Out’. As I’ve said before, I sure miss seeing these guys, but for over the next couple of weeks – you never know!Original […]
The Large Psammodromus Lizard (Psammodromus algirus) can easily measure up to 45cm nose to tail, which makes his tail length over twice his body length and it can be found throughout the Iberian Peninsula of […]
It’s starting to shape up into a busy year photographically and as I head back out ‘on the road’ once again I thought I’d bring the ‘flashbacks’ back for the next couple of months. Today’s […]
For me it’s been a longtime without seeing one of these guys, but fingers are crossed that I may come across one on my upcoming trip back into the BC bush – let’s hope so. […]
This is a Lappet-faced Vulture (Torgos tracheliotos) and at over a metre tall they are the largest of all the vulture species in Africa, but sadly today, they’re considered an endangered species. They get their […]
Here we see a young sub-adult grizzly bear leaving a river in Northern BC looking a little forlorn at having had no luck at catching himself a salmon – on this occasion! As we’ve seen […]
The Black-winged Kite (Elanus caeruleus)can be found across many parts of Africa, through central to Eastern Asia and in parts of Western Europe. At around 38cm it is considered a small kite that is similar […]
This is a Southern Resident orca known as K26 or Lobo to some observers of this particular group of orca. This is a shot I got of him off the BC coast in 2014 when […]
Here we see a large and fairly old looking black bear out searching for food amongst the shoreline pickings of low tide on the BC coast. This beachside bruiser certainly has distinct looking features and […]
I’m just back from a trip to Portugal, learning a lot of history and observing parts of the spring bird migration from Africa to Europe. But whilst there I did manage to see one or […]
The spectacular looking Grey Crowned Crane (Balearica regulorum), initially, in name at least, takes a little explaining. It is not a ‘grey-crowned’ crane but is in fact a grey crane with a crown! In some […]
In a few weeks time I’m heading back to the Khutzeymateen after three years away. Although I have thousands, many still unpublished, photographs from the area and despite being able to keep fairly up to […]
In this case the title does not refer to the alternative name for the cougars of North America but actually refers to what the image is of – a lion on a mountain! We came […]
