Here we see one of the female grizzly bears of the Khutzeymateen making her way along a path between some rocks on the beach of the estuary. I believe that this is the young bear […]
Here we can see what it’s like up alongside a fairly large iceberg and see how this one has a rather ‘inviting’, almost church like, entrance to an inner ice-cave that leaves you forever wondering […]
If you’re swimming in the river, now is a good time to get out – the big guy is coming in! Here we see a large adult Nile crocodile heading for a swim in the […]
Here’s a rather colourful ‘first sighting’ shot from a recent field trip to Europe – the Spanish Festoon Butterfly (Zerynthia rumina). As the name suggests this butterfly is endemic of Spain and it’s Iberian neighbour […]
Here we see a fall shot of a young female grizzly bear searching a BC river system looking for salmon. It was so tempting to remove it, but I decided to leave her with the […]
Cuckoos always seemed to manage to avoid me growing up in England. I would hear them, especially in the spring, but I never managed to spot one. However, whilst in Tanzania last year I did […]
I did come across two or three different adult male lions during my time in Tanzania, but far fewer compared to the number of females and female prides. Lions like to hunt at night and […]
Here’s another one of the several spectacular species of raptor I managed to see whilst in Tanzania last year – the Brown Snake Eagle (Circaetus cinereus). As their name suggests, they have a preference for […]
I miss seeing these little guys and I used to see and photograph them quite regularly, so it’s hard to believe we haven’t featured one on here since 2020! This is a male rufous hummingbird […]
It seems that for this portrait this grizzly bear was showing us his ‘pearly whites’, but really he was just chewing some sedge. Not heard much these days, but the term ‘pearly whites’ is an […]
Here we have the oddly named ‘Sausage Tree’ (Kigelia africana). This tree, which can reach a height of around 20 metres, is a popular source of shade for wildlife on hot days. However, if you […]
Having dropped off half a fish to his brooding mate (you can just see her head on the nest) this male osprey heads for a nearby observation point high in a tree to eat his […]
You’d be forgiven if on first glance you thought this was a black bear, especially considering how dark and wet this grizzly bear’s coat is. But this splendid looking guy was paddling along a creek […]
Mound-building Termites – not the most lovable of critters, especially if they’re in your property, but out in the wild like the Tanzanian savannah, you have to admire their ingenuity and architecture. These termite mounds […]
Bearded Seals (Erinathus barbatus) can live for up to 25 years and are the largest ‘Arctic’ seal – adults measure 2 to 2.7m long and can weigh in at between 200 to 430kg depending on […]
