Part 05/11 of Glenn Bartley’s 3-month trip around Peru – At this point I had reached the end of the road…literally. All travel deeper in to the park would require a boat. I managed to join a tour group to move on down the river – WAY down the river. We took the boat several […]
Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge Continues to Please
So far into the new year Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge has continued to be VERY active. There has been a good population of roseate spoonbills, america avocets, eagles, and all sorts of ducks. Let me see if I can list some of the ducks in good numbers, american widgeons, northern shovelers, pintails, hooded mergansers, ring-necked, […]
Wonderful Uganda – December 2011
A belated blog of my week long trip to Uganda in December. All started with my Emirates flight to Entebbe via Addis Ababa in Ethiopia which involved an hour on the Tarmac there. Arrived on time in Entebbe around 3pm in the afternoon, skys a little grey but no rain. I was met by my […]

Creating beautiful bird pictures can be very rewarding. However, sometimes we want even more by pushing the envelope a bit and creating […]
The Geladas of Ethiopia by Adam Riley
Geladas are the sole survivors of a once abundant branch of primates that historically foraged across the grasslands of Africa, the Mediterranean and India. These relics of times gone by now cling to a precarious existence on the sheer cliffs of Ethiopia’s mountains, from which each morning they materialize, to forage on nearby moorlands, before […]
Birds of Peru in Manu National Park
Part 03/11 of Glenn Bartley’s 3-month trip around Peru – With these targets photographed it was time to start making my way into the jungle. I really wanted to spend some quality time in Manu National Park. After all, it is the most biologically diverse place on the planet! Imagine a single park with over […]
