Home from Ecuador - White-bellied Antpitta

Hello everyone!

I just returned from my annual Ecuador workshops last night. What a great time we had down there. A month of hummingbirds, Toucans, Tanagers, Owls and so many more fantastic birds. At one of our stops on the east slope the lodge was feeding this White-bellied Antpitta. After watching its behaviour on one morning I decided to try a set up shot the next time around. I was quite pleased with the result ...

Camera Trap Footage

Hi,

In the January edition of Wildlife it suggests 52 wild things to do in a year. One of the things suggested was to shoot your own wildlife films using remote camera traps. I have been doing this over the last year as a hobby and have collected clips from the UK, Brazil and Zambia of wildlife such as otters, badgers, giant armadillo, jaguar and porcupine to name a few. Here's a selection of my ...

Junin Canastero (Peru)

These Canasteros are really pretty cool birds. Sort of like the wrens of the Neotropics...

I'm just down in Ecuador for another few weeks but will have some fun ones to post once I get home.

All the best everyone!

Australian Eastern Water Dragon Lizard

Just after Christmas (high summer here in Australia), we came across this native Lizard on a bushwalk in the Blue Mountains National Park, 60 miles (100km) west of Sydney. My father identified it as an Eastern Water Dragon. It was very tame and let me video it for a long time, about 5 minutes, before vanishing all of a sudden.

Donna Nook Seals

Just had the e-mail advertising the 20-20 vision project and noticed a Grey Seal pup shot. Be interested to know if it came from Donna Nook as The Lincs Wildlife Trust ask people not to go onto the beach so as not to disturb the Seals. Some mindless snappers completely ignore this and stroll out amongst the pups and mothers regardless of the distress it causes. Surely the welfare of the subject should come before ...

Hairy-crested Antbird (Peru)

Antbirds are incredibly difficult birds to photograph. They are for the most part big-time skulkers and they live in the dark realms of the forest. High ISOs and a lot of frustration are the norm when trying to photograph them. Perhaps the best way to get images of these guys is to find an army ant swarm and to position yourself in the middle of it. That's what I did here and it paid off ...

Favourite Image of 2011

2011 has been a crazy year of bird photography for me. With trips to Ecuador, Costa Rica, All over BC, Newfoundland and Churchill I definitely racked up some air miles. It is really hard to pick ONE favourite from this year. But if I had to I think I would choose this image from Costa Rica of a Violet-crowned Woodnymph Hummingbird emerging from a small stream in the forest. I had dreamed of taking a ...
