We’re in deepest God-knows-where in one of Europe’s largest wild forests. Zoologist Vadim Sidorovich crouches in the half-light studying the track; I’m barely breathing, so intense is the silence. A […]

Ghost towns of Chernobyl becoming wonderland for wolves

Ghost towns of Chernobyl becoming wonderland for wolves

July 11, 2018July 23, 2020 Supertrooper 1 Comment

After the 1986 fire and explosion at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant released 400 times more radioactive fallout than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, most everyone left the area. Authorities […]

January 6, 2014February 7, 2021 Ken Billington 2 Comments

With temperatures around freezing point, blue skies and frost on the ground, I got down to the Rhine Delta in Austria just as the sun was rising this morning. A perfect opportunity to try out my new Canon EOS 70D camera body. All of the above shots were taken hand-held using a Canon EF 400mm […]

Why the lynx effect would send Scotland wild

Why the lynx effect would send Scotland wild

June 4, 2013December 22, 2019 Supertrooper 4 Comments

As Edinburgh Zoo’s panda freakshow continues to captivate the witless and the infantile, a real Scottish animal has been allowed to die. Under the noses of Scottish Natural Heritage, which likes to be known as the nation’s leading conservation body, the Scottish wildcat has all but been extinguished from the Highlands.

Roe (and other deer) Hazards

Roe (and other deer) Hazards

February 26, 2012November 23, 2014 Kieran Lindsey 4 Comments

People, cars, and deer—put them together and you’ve got trouble.
