Little Owl Enjoying A Snack, Ede, The Netherlands
It was a warm spring day in the Netherlands, and I was in a hide with a friend, trying to capture this amazing little owl. They were feeding on worms in the grass and feeding their young in the nest behind us in a tree. What an amazing bird with beautiful eyes.
American White Pelican, Lake Elizabeth, Fremont, California, USA
They are excellent synchronized swimmers. It is amazing to watch them go through the cyclical swimming motion of diving and surfacing for hours on end. This is a cooperative strategy used to herd and capture fish in shallow waters.
Leopard With Cub, Maasai Mara, Kenya
These magnificent cats camouflage so well with their surroundings. I was told by the locals that the cub had a problem with its jaw. I’m not sure if it was injured or if it is a birth defect. Leopards are physically very strong, helping them carry kills three times their weight easily onto a safe […]
Bee-eater With Dragonfly, Bavaria, Germany
I went for the first time ever to photograph the bee-eaters. I drove 10 hours to get there, and as soon as I arrived, one of them caught a dragonfly, and I was able to capture this amazing image.
A Leopard’s Stare, Maasai Mara, Kenya
Meet this beautiful leopardess with a young cub that, from what I was told, has a birth defect. She was trying very hard to coax the cub to come back from its perch in a tree. Cubs are vulnerable to predators such as hyenas and wild dogs.
Super Tusker With Calf, Amboseli National Park, Kenya
The massive tusker was looking for a mate and passed by a herd. Spurned by the females, he moved on. The young calf was curious about the big fellow and followed him for some distance.
Mallard, Racconigi, Piedmont, Italy
The mallard is the most widespread of the wild duck species. Males generally outnumber females. Anas platyrhynchos spends most of the day on the water, coming onto land only to nest or rest. Its favorite habitats are therefore those with calm bodies of water—marshes, ponds, lakes, and rivers like this area of Racconigi, a protected […]
Howling Howler, Pantanal, Mato Grosso, Brazil
While photographing Capuchin Monkeys in the forest, this Howler Monkey decided to come and see what all the fuss was about. He may have been able to smell the watermelon being passed around as well! Once he arrived, he joined in as if he were part of the family. I found it interesting that there […]
Lone Giraffe, African Savannah, Amboseli National Park, Kenya
Savannah in Kenya stretches for miles in all directions. I thought the lone giraffe standing in the middle of it all made for an interesting capture. The few trees near the horizon grew from seeds brought in through animal droppings.
The Lion King Moment, Maasai Mara, Kenya
There is something very regal about these big cats. No wonder the lion has been idolised in the American animated musical drama film, ‘The Lion King’.
