Humpback whales must certainly be the showiest and most surface active whales of them all. We’ve seen them before breaching, tail slapping, spy hopping and, like this guy photographed in British Columbia, performing a peduncle […]
Perched on a washed out tree root in the middle of the Khutzeymateen river, these two bald eagles, probably a nesting pair, sit like sentinels on guard over the river. Of course they are not […]
The Fever Tree (Vachellia xanthopholea) is fairly common in marshy or swampy areas and other wetlands and can be found from Kenya down to South Africa. It was given its name thanks to early missionaries […]
Have you ever been a spectator at an event and found yourself determinedly wishing for a participant to succeed? The sort of feeling where you can hear yourself in your head saying “go on, go […]
Lit up in the early morning sun, the colours on this spectacular bird look fantastic. Endemic to Africa, the Lilac-breasted Roller (Coracias caudatus) can be found across the Eastern and Southern sub-Saharan parts of the […]
Well, at the time of this shot, you wouldn’t need to worry if it was a good salmon year on this particular river system – just take a look at this guy! This bear, along […]

Although I haven’t featured any yet, I encountered many vultures of four different sub-species whilst in Tanzania earlier this year. Not quite the largest, but at around 40 inches tall, this Ruppell’s Griffon Vulture (Gyps […]
I came across this sleepy looking fella one afternoon in the Khutzeymateen Grizzly Bear Sanctuary on the BC coast. The tide was starting to get high and there wasn’t too much open dry land left […]
Together you could almost call these ‘Liverbirds’, thinking in line with the football teams of Liverpool in the UK who play in red and blue. But of course they are nothing like the mythical cormorant […]
It must be something to do with the time of year! Last year I found ‘The Beast From The Fog’ as a new addition to out ‘Natural Art’ collection and this year, for some reason […]
Another shot of this guy was featured earlier in the year promoting ‘World Lizard Day’, but I thought I’d feature him again to share a little more information about these colourful lizards. The Mwanza flat-headed […]
