Big Birds

It is an incredible experience have these monsters with a 9ft (3m) wingspan fly right over you as a couple did on my first day of filming and photographing. They came within 15ft of my head at great speed but I would have needed a very wide angle lens to capture an image the 2 above were taken with a 200mm- 800mm Leica zoom.

I am off the scale excited to be returning to my favourite place on earth, chomping at the bit to get to Heathrow for the 14 hour flight to Santiago and the connecting flight south to deepest Patagonia.

Still 6 weeks before my flight 😂 .

Going to be heading to a couple of locations to film Condors soaring and in their nest with the Offspring and of course the Pumas. The image in this post is of the first Puma I ever saw. The encounter happened at dusk, I was alone, still 2 hours from camp and suddenly noticed the tiniest movement on a rock, it was the cats ears moving ever so slightly, I can’t explain the mixed feeling or fear and emotion at the time. A few seconds after I took the shot ( Fuji 100 ASA slide film pushed 2 stops 300mm F2.8 Nikon &2 x converter Handheld ) I noticed the cat look in my general direction, but it was not me it was looking at ! Several metres behind me on the grassy slope, staring at me was its sibling. I was now alone with 2 large P***y cats. I watched them join up ahead of me jumping all over one another and not giving me a second thought, a comforting thought let me tell you, but it was a long scary walk back to camp on Lake Sarmiento.

One of the local yocals where I always stop to buy happy eggs on the edge of the New Forest, is quite the wit!

Organic tomatoes, great , but why do these supermarkets, they who buy massive quantities from producers start to flex their muscles and demand they stop packaging them in a wrapped tray.

My old man was in the fruit and vegetable business most of his life, I worked for him on and and off since I was at school. I often went to the Old Covent market off the Strand in London back in the late 1960’s before school in mid winter because it was such an exciting place to be.

For example , Cauliflowers came in wooden boxes with the growers name branded on it, you would buy them and return the box to the grower the following morning, and he would of course reuse them for years. Cucumbers were never wrapped in plastic, tomatoes came in thin sided wooden boxes with little triangular corners so they could be stacked, they were returned. French beans from Kenya came in shoe size boxes, you bought what you wanted and it was put in a paper bag in the shop, now they and god knows how many other products are in plastic. Individual cabbages, greens, lettuce , the list goes on and on.

Have we all lost out fu***ng minds ?

No one ever died because a cauliflower or other vegetables and fruit were not wrapped in plastic, so why do you buy it.

We are creating all this s**t for no reason and so many people are simply too stupid, lazy and don’t give a s**t to do anything about. The more people complain the more they will listen, eventually things change, that is how it works. We are literally swimming in a sea of plastic worldwide, so the next time you need these products find somewhere that sells them loose, give a s**t, do your bit before we all fu***ng drown in plastic.

This Swan is incubating 5 eggs on a very small island in the Stour river upon which an Otter or two regularly use to fish around and sprain on to mark their territory. I estimate the eggs will hatch in the next 2 - 5 days and the chances of all 5 of the Cygnets surviving is pretty slim.

I have spent a lot of time here filming Otters and 2 years ago a cheap trail camera I left on the island captures an Otter at night with a month old cygnet in its mouth it has just taken in the shallows and was swimming towards the island with it to tuck in. I will be spending long hours on the island over the next few days in order to film the newly hatched cygnets first few hours out of the eggs.

If I am very lucky I might get to see her stand up in the nest to check a newly hatched cygnet, we shall see. The Ooter spraint here regularly on a fallen tree 4 mt from the nest and will no doubt see the new arrivals. I plan to dedicate some long hours there under camouflage in the hope I just might capture an Otter taking one or more of the cygnets.

After a 10k run from Knoll Beach on Studland up to old Harry’s Rocks and back, no finer place to hang out and watch the seabirds take off from and soak up the sun than Dancing Ledge.

26/05/2024

Finally tracked down a female with 3 cubs on the Stour. I am very disappointed to not have found them when they were much younger, but hopefully I will find another female with young through the summer and autumn.

There will be some very early 4-
am starts over the next few weeks in order to film them@in the rich morning light and hopefully around last light and dusk🙏

Memories from a year with my Defender 110 in deepest Patagonia. The cloud images were taken with a 200mm Nikon for the wider angle and the close -up of the edges of the same lenticular spoon shaped cloud was shot with a Nikon 600mm F4 with a 2 x converter, all images using Fuji Provia slide film.

If the paragraph I highlighted in the
2nd image does not give you, at the very least, pause for very serious thought about the c**ktail of , how can I put this “ S**t “ that goes into the food you eat , then you and the children you feed are in trouble.

The book by George Monbiot is an eye opener, to put it mildly, and it would not be a waste of anyone’s time to read it, it will blow your mind.

As someone who has spent a lot of time in the sea and rivers in the UK and around the world , I have felt the direct effects of the utter s**t show that is the best way to describe their current state.

The government under Margret Thatcher made a colossal mistake in privatising the water industry, that is a plain and simple fact that any hard right Tory could not argue with today, given the shocking state of the rivers and coastline in the UK.

Filming Otters in the Stour in Dorset, as I have been doing for the last few years has caused me to feel like s**t every single time I have been unlucky enough to get more than a few splashes in my eyes or mouth when wading around in a wet suit or dry suit getting in and out of hides and clumps of vegetation when filming life in the river. The greedy profit driven wankers who started this s**t show in 1989 got away with it , and will continue to do so until politicians with a spine call time in this fu***ng environmental c**k up and get the river system back in a healthy state. Someone asked me the other day if I voted conservative 😂

Never make the mistake of forgetting about what lies in the shadows ! This female Mountain Lion or Puma ( Flemish concur Patagonia ) was the mother of 3 cubs that I first crossed paths with ( literally ) along the shores of a long lake.

The shoreline is encrusted with calcium rock formations that offer all manner of possibilities for shelter , surprise attacks on the Guanacos’s , it’s main prey species and the odd person who is not paying attention.

I spent a total of 4 years in the region and many a happy hour was spent in amongst these crusty rock formations and had more than the odd surprise over the years.

One sunny day I was out with my oldest friend in Chile local legend Rodrigo Lizama of

patagoniadiscovery.travel

when we spotted her and her young just laying on a hill by the lake just chilling with cubs licking each other and occasionally heir mothers face.

I could think of no finer place to be and consider myself very privileged to have seen so many extraordinary things during my one down there. I can’t wait to return🙏

The switch to a no plough regenerative system for growing crops and reducing our dependence on the ridiculous amounts of chemicals we pump into the soil is one of the biggest challenges the human race faces. How many people out there even know about it, ignorance maybe bliss, but it is also deadly!

How true.

The last image in this series is of a very expensive piece of filming kit I had the pleasure and pain of using for a couple of weeks to try and film Otters on the Stour river in Dorset. That opportunity was thanks to Nick Gates and Hilary Jeffkins at Silverback films in Bristol when their much deserved multi award winning series Wild Isles was be shot.

Sadly the Otter cubs I had been filming had grown too large for the required shots and despite weeks of walking the river I could not find another female with young to get the sequences they wanted, C’est la vie, but it was a lot of fun trying.

So what has this to do with a load of images of nesting Eurasian Griffon Vultures and Bonelli’s Eagles in the breeding season in Andalusia, well I would kill for the use of this beast of a camera with this incredible lens ( Canon CN 50-1000) as I have spent thousands of hours in the mountains in Andalusia locating the bet nesting sites to film into and this equipment would produce stunning 4K footage of rarely seen nesting behaviour of both species. So if any of the wildlife production companies are in the planning stage for films with these species in mind, I am in a great position to get the material.

Please do not hesitate to throw as much of this incredible kit my way as I will most certainly put it to good use.

During the day the temperature hit 45c, the chick was in direct sunlight from about 11 am until sunset, I made the climb at 5 am to the nests on the rock face to avoid the heat , I sat there until sunset to get the last clip of the adults returning to feed the chick. It was a day I will never forget, I nearly melted. I was very disappointed not to make it to southern Spain this year to film the mating and nesting activity of the Eurasian Griffon Vultures and a couple of Eagle species, but I will be there at the end of January and the first weeks of February of 2024 to catch the first of the eggs hatch then return twice more to film their progress🙏 . They are incredible birds and most people have no idea just how vital they are in maintaining a healthy ecosystem. @bbcearth @bbcwildlifemagazine @naturepicturelibrary @natgeowild @discovery.hd @animalplanet @iconfilms @silverback_films @plimsollproductions @terramater @atlantic.productions @humblebeefilms @filmsat59 @offspring_films @offthefencebv @animalplanet @truetonatureuk @tigressproductions #wildplanet #vultures #wildplanet #vultures #griffonvultures #birdsofprey #nesting #wildlife #nature #birdsofinstagram #birds #natureshots #birds_brilliance #wildlifefilming #eurasiangriffonvulture #planetbirds #vultureculture #bird_captures #birdsofafeather #adventuresinnature #naturelove #wildlife_vision #wildlifecaptures #wildlifeonearth #birdsofprey #birdstagram #birds_adored #instabird #wildlifefilming #naturedocumentary

90 days in to my 365 day running challenge. For those who are not aware, no I have not lost the plot ( completely) and turning into Forest Gump, I am just out there trying to raise money for an all female anti poaching patrol in Zimbabwe. I am just putting the finishing touches to posters , flyers with links to a website helping me raise funds for these incredibly brave women on the frontline protecting Rhinos, Elephants and other species against these fully armed and highly dangerous poachers. To read about these amazing women and the incredible Australian SAS soldier who set it all up visit www.IAPF.org I am coming for your money very soon. 🙏😁
