I would throw pebbles at them to make them fly,” remembers Ghimire, whose interest in birds led him to study forestry and then ornithology. […]

Florida panthers critically endangered as numbers fall below 200

March 30, 2022March 26, 2022 Supertrooper 1 Comment

I’m driving through southwestern Florida with photographer Carlton Ward Jr, on a busy highway outside of Naples. The roadways are lined with palm and pine trees, and the early humidity is oppressive.

A Little Stint was reported but we failed to find it. Back in the car and we noticed four Spoonbill flying over Walsey […]

With the last days before my next foreign trip, work and family life have been hectic. The glorious, warm sunny Easter weekend of 19th April was spent decorating at home with some time on the beach with friends and family and enjoying the garden.
