    Visiting the tarsiers of Bohol

    April 1, 2025 / 63 Comments

    The Tarsier Conservation Area on Bohol Island in the Philippines is a protected area dedicated to preserving the Philippine tarsier, one of the smallest primates in the world. Known for their strikingly large eyes in a tiny body, these fascinating animals play a vital role in maintaining the island's biodiversity and ecological harmony.

    A postcard from the Philippines: tarsiers in Bohol

    March 1, 2025 / 37 Comments

    Tarsiers are one of the smallest primates in the world, not much bigger than a human fist. They are nocturnal and spend the day dozing under big leaves in the forest, making them very difficult to photograph clearly!

    A wetland wonderland in London

    December 5, 2024 / 55 Comments

    It might surprise you to know that London can be a good place to spot wildlife! Tucked into a loop of the Thames in west London is a watery wonderland. The Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust was founded in the 1940s by the naturalist Sir Peter Scott, to protect wetlands and save wetland species.

    Gallery: animals in their natural habitats

    July 1, 2024 / 74 Comments

    All of us have places where we feel at home and are comfortable. Places where we can find all the necessities of life. And animals are no different. A sloth must live in a tree, a whale in the sea, a lion on the plains of Africa, a bee where there are flowers.

    May 24, 2024 / 35 Comments

    Usually I like to choose a theme for my black and white galleries. Maybe a particular country, or a subject such as flowers or buildings. But sometimes it’s fun to mix it up a bit with an assortment of rather different shots.

    Gallery: Monochrome Madness, seeing textures in black and white

    March 6, 2024 / 83 Comments

    When you remove the colour from an image you see other aspects of your subject more clearly. Shape, form, texture all stand out more without the distraction of colour, and monochrome highlights the contrasts between them.

    March 4, 2024 / 45 Comments

    Every year on 3rd March World Wildlife Day celebrates the unique roles and contributions of wildlife to people and the planet. Initiated by the United Nations in 2013, the day invites all of us to remember how much we rely on the earth’s natural resources and have a responsibility to protect them.

    A postcard from Mexico: blue whales in the Sea of Cortez

    February 26, 2024 / 46 Comments

    For a few weeks during February and March each year blue whales, the world's largest mammals, visit the the Sea of Cortez off the eastern coast of the Baja California Sur peninsular. They come to calve, mate and feed on the krill that flourishes in its rich waters.

    A walk in the Montagne d’Ambre national park

    December 6, 2023 / 38 Comments

    Such are the natural wonders of Madagascar that in a couple of hours’ walking you can see an array of endemic species from tiny (and I mean tiny!) chameleons to lively lemurs and towering baobab trees.

    The unique world of Madagascar’s lemurs

    December 4, 2023 / 66 Comments

    Did you know that there is a World Lemur Day? No, nor did I, until we happened to find ourselves in Madagascar on the last Fridy of October which is when it is celebrated. It was wonderful in any case to be able to view these beautiful animals in their natural setting, but especially so to do so on their special day!
