Welcome Everybody

Hello - Welcome. The purpose of this site is to document my experiences photographing wildlife and nature throughout Australia and abroad.  I hope you find the content interesting and educational, and the images  cause you to reflect on how important it is preserve natural places and their inhabitants.

All wildife has been photographed in the wild and animals are NOT captive or living in enclosures.

For me photography of the natural world is more than just pretty settings and cuddly animal photos. It's a concern for the environment and the earth all living creatures must share.

Note that images appearing in journal posts are often not optimally processed due to time constraints.

You are welcome to comment on any post.

FIGAS - Not A Swear Word - Falkland Islands

The easiest and quickest method to get around in the Falkland Islands is to charter the small red coloured, short take off and landing aircraft used by the Falkland Islands Air Services (FIGAS), which services many of the islands on a regular basis.  These aircraft are literally two engines and load space commanded by some of best bush pilots on the planet.  The weather in the Falkland's can be fickle, but these planes seem to always fly in conditions that other mainstream pilots would shy away from.  I can remember quite a few crosswind landing approaches in which the offset angle to the dirt strip was in the order of 25 degrees and the wind gusting 30 knots!.  LEFT:  FIGAS Britten Norman Islander aircraft meets with Land Rover for resupply.
