Early in 2024 I published a post called ‘Portrait of a Prince’ which featured this guy and told in part the story of the markings on his head. Here we see him again still standing […]

This northern gannet is an avian influenza ‘survivor’ – how do I know, well it’s all in the eyes… please read on. Back in 2023 I published the post ‘A Gannetry’ telling of my visits […]
Excuse the title, but that was the first word that came to mind when I opened up this shot of a female grizzly bear that I soon came to recognise. Back in 2017 I published […]
