So incredible to see a snow leopard in the wild. A memory that will live with me. The animal was over 600 m away, it was around -20 C and we were at about 4500 m. Difficult photography conditions. #wildlife #snowleopard #india

Braided River, Mackenzie District, NZ. Taken from a helicopter with its doors off. A whole lot of fun and a little bit scary. Braided rivers are so important for a number of native birds - the colour is caused by glacial flour #landscape #photography #river #newzealand

The endangered alpine parrot 🦜 the kea are one of my absolute favorite birds. Found only in the South Island of NZ these birds can problem solve faster than a human can think “better put away my lens cap”

Atlantic puffin - photo taken earlier this year on Shetland. Seriously, how could you not love these wee birds. Sadly, however, their food source is being depleted for things such as fertilizer for the flower industry or animal feed - we need to do better #puffin #wildlife #bird #conservation

Oh it’s so good to be here on Bluesky and it was so good to be there - Churchill, Manitoba. Watching bears waiting for the ice to form was an humbling and sobering experience. The change ice season is beyond worrying #wildlife #wildlifephotography

Polar bear - Churchill, Manitoba. Such incredible animals and such a privilege to get close(ish) to them.
