Beyond any doubt the 2 most frustrating occurrences in photographing and filming birds is not having the eye pin sharp or cutting out the tips of the wing (s). However there is an equally or possibly more frustrating occurrence that occasionally rears it head and it happened to me on my recent 5 week trip to southern Patagonia to film the Andean Condors.

This soaring leviathan cruised along the cliff edge and I for some insane reason only fires off a single shot, and it so happened that during that split second one of the 8 wing fingers was in the way of the Condors beak.

I was a complete idiot for not holding down the shutter button and using the 20 frames per second function the camera has. I was and still am livid with myself😂, it would have been a perfect image…….

Next time😳

Old Harry’s Rocks / Studland / Dorset.

Mavic 3 Classic drone. It was cold with the wind chill at about -5 or 6, but worth the effort.

Andean Condors with a combined wingspan of 18ft, you would have a job getting those 2 into you Budgie’s cage😳

Corfe Castle just before sunrise. I was experimenting with a DJI Mavic 3 drone, but was rushing due to the fact I needed to be on the coast a few miles south at Old Harry’s Rocks for the sunrise. I was late and missed the money shot I wanted, will have to wait for the the next clear morning.

Likewise with Corfe I needed to get there earlier and move the drone around to get what I knew was there but ran out of time. I know from experience with wildlife and Landscapes, pick a single subject and stick to it, no matter how tempting it is to squeeze something else in

I should stick to my own advice more often😳

Last summer I spent far longer than I should with this pair of Swans on the Stour in Dorset, but I enjoyed every minute of it, despite the fact it all fell apart at the last second.

They came so close but as the last few hours of incubation approached ( after 39 days ) the rain came, the river rose and the eggs went under.

Hopefully this spring🙏

Took advantage of the stunningly clear skies forecast and headed to Old Harry’s Rocks on Studland, Dorset.

It was freezing but worth the early start, nearly went for a dip, I said nearly😂 Shots from the drone to come.

The very brilliant male Magellanic Woodpecker.

Condors, one of Patagonia’s main ingredients, I can’t imagine this landscape without them.

On the vast sheep and cattle ranches in southern Patagonia spring sees the arrival of thousands of Lambs. On the Cerro Guido Estancia ( ranch ) which is located close to the Torres del Paine National Park, the Gauchos, their trusty horses and sheep dogs have a lot to contend with.

The spring will see the Ewes shorn of their wool, then when that task is complete the flocks will be driven by the Gauchos across the vast landscape to their summer grazing pastures higher up. The manager of the Cerro Guido lodge told me over a coffee just before the sheering process started that with this years new arrivals of lambs the number of sheep being driven is 17,000.

The ranchers accept the Pumas in the area will pick some off, in the not too distant past, the simple answer was for a Leonero to saddle up his horse gets the dogs ready and head off in to the landscape and shoot the Puma (s). Luckily for the Pumas, at least on the Cerro Guido Estancia attitudes have changed. One has to remember, sheep were introduced to Patagonia by the Scots and British from the Falkland Islands, so as far as the Pumas were concerned it was like a Mc Donald’s opened up suddenly, and they did not have to pay!

Spring feast in Patagonia.

The floor of the Nothofagus pumillo ( Lenga Beech ) forests are strewn with wild flowers in spring. The harsh winter has finally ended and the forest awakens.

To sit atop a mountain anywhere along the Andes mountain chain, and being 4,300 miles long (7,000 km ) that’s a lot of mountain tops, and watch these leviathans if the sky is an incredible pleasure.

They move so fast and are incredibly agile for such a large winged bird. You really need to concentrate when trying to pan your camera and lenses, especially when you are close to the edge of a sheer rock face in order to get them when they cruise close to it as they ride the thermals rising up it or are coming into land at a roosting or nest location. I won’t divulge how many images and footage clips I shot that were near perfect except for the fact I clipped the tip of the wing out, the head or the last bits of the tail, trust me there were plenty, but thankfully I took some crackers like this one🙏

Soaring Leviathan

This giant of the Andes airspace is not done justice on a cell phone screen, so I will of course upload these to my website on my return to the UK, sadly that day is fast approaching, after a month in Patagonia, I will be back.

Whose a pretty young male Condor! The males have a prominent comb or carbuncle on the head and sport brown eyes, they also have dewlaps which are folds of skin on the neck. These folds become bigger and more wrinkled with age. It takes 8 years and several moults before the bird attains it’s full black and white feathers.

A bit of wing detail from above. You have to get above the Condors to make it interesting, because the underside of a bird is more difficult to expose correctly unless they are in a nice angled turn and it’s all exposed to early morning or late afternoon early evening light. By making the effort to get high on the hills and mountains above where they roost, nest and obviously soar is well with the sweat when one gets to see them cruise right under your lens🙏.

A little selection from my days efforts up above Lake Sofia down in deepest Patagonia. The Magellanic Woodpecker is the worlds biggest and the male sports a magnificent red head, as for the Condor it may not be the prettiest bird in the world, especially the male, but they are magnificent to watch and film. I was sitting on top of the mountain yesterday and a male landed 20 ft away from me, and kindly posed for a portrait.
