Our fifth trip to these amazing Arctic Islands. This was a very special trip: a private charter aboard the M/S Malmo for twenty nights. This gave us the maximum time possible in the pack ice as we searched for Polar Bears. We had the most amazing encounters. We first...

Various whales and Dolphins – Baja, Mexico 2017
Our almost annual trip to Baja is a highlight of our year. Here is a compilation of some of the highlights from 2017
Northern Elephant Seals – Baja, Mexico 2017
These molting Northern Elephant Seals looked very messy indeed.
Ospreys feeding their chick – Isla San Benito, Mexico 2017
I spent more than an hour watching these beautiful birds and their chick. The adults worked hard to bring fish to the growing chick. Watching them use the wind currents to approach and land on the nest was an impressive sight.
Southern Elephant Seals – Falkland Islands, 2016
Our circumnavigation of these Islands gave us a chance to see many species. These Southern Elephant Seals put on a nice display against an impressive backdrop.
A noisy and chaotic Gentoo Penguin colony – Falkland Islands 2016
On our 2016 circumnavigation of the Falkland Islands, we visited a number of Gentoo Penguin colonies. All had chicks of varying ages. The penguins defend their nests aggressively and noisily so the colony seems to be one mass of squabbling birds.
South American Fur Seals and their young – Falkland Islands 2016
On Bird Island there were many South American Fur Seals with their young.

These graceful and delicate birds were filmed from a zodiac.
A scavenging Arctic Fox – Svalbard 2016
This gorge on Svalbard is home to many thousands of Kittiwakes which nest on the sheer cliff faces. The sight of so many birds in such a confined place is quite remarkable. There are thousands of birds on the wing and many more on their nests. It is a remarkable feat...

White-Tailed Sea Eagles. During our one month stay on Finnoya, Norway, we did two trips to Steigen to view White-tailed Sea Eagles. We were guided by local expert, Aasmund Gylseth. We caught fish to bait the eagles which were waiting on the surrounding hilltops. These...
