  1. Off to Galapagos today on Abercrombie & Kent trip. Marine iguanas and giant tortoises for couple weeks. And maybe odd hammerhead shark too.
  2. Photographed some UK wildlife the other day - nice change. Urban badgers living by railway line: tinyurl.com/cfkero6 & tinyurl.com/cewrkjq
  3. I opened Art for Survival Exhibition at Mall Galleries last night. Stunning wildlife paintings & sculptures. In aid DSWF. Open all wk.
  4. Congrats Wildlife Trusts! Going to Centenary Celebrations at Natural History Museum London tonight. Brilliant organisation achieved so much.
  5. Martin Mere today - fab Wildfowl & Wetland Trust reserve. Just starting photo workshop. Weather looks amazingly good. Lecture here tonight.
  6. Xantu's correct. Endemic southern Baja. White-eared v similar. top marks. Gorgeous bird. And, yes, several blue whales too. Great contrast!
  7. Saw a special bird in Baja, too. Anyone know what this is? markcarwardine.com/hummingbird_2.…. Only half a point for just 'hummingbird' I'm afraid.
  8. We'd both love to do another Last Chance to See series... but peek at @stephenfry's diary and you'll see why it might be a while away yet!
  9. Baja whale season over for another year, sadly. Few shots from most recent trip here: tinyurl.com/bm3gtf6. Will post more after proper edit
  10. Running couple one-day creative wildlife photo workshops at Martin Mere (Lancs) 12 & 13 May in case anyone interested: tinyurl.com/7ayewdv
  11. On Radio 4 Excess Baggage 10am with brill John McCarthy. Then Heathrow for another Baja trip. More whales. Yay. Best of Baja 2012 pics soon.
  12. Story of my recent fab trip to New Zealand in search of Small Five in Telegraph today: tinyurl.com/c2894cr @DTW_Holidays @PureNewZealand
  13. OK deal - I'll tweet best pics on return (if manage to take any!). And, yep, will be at WhaleFest (wouldn't miss it!): http://.com/83pmbb2
  14. Sadly will miss big Douglas Adams birthday party (tinyurl.com/7mqdc6s) on Sunday. He'd have been 60. Miss him a lot. Tkts still available.
  15. Sorry I'm world's worst tweeter... once every 2 weeks! Will get better. Ah... except next 2 weeks as leaving for Baja & whales again today.
  16. Great opportunity to help whales, dolphins & porpoises in Scotland. Sign WDCS petition at: tinyurl.com/6sogdqb. Takes one minute. Pleeeease
  17. Just back from Baja whale trip. Outstanding, as always. Really friendly greys, lots of blues (inc mothers and calves) and much, much more.
  18. Another day another airport. Today it's less snowy Heathrow on way to my favourite place - Baja California, Mexico. Whales, whales, whales.
  19. #LoveSpecies Which sp do you love most? Check out tinyurl.com/7s7nnos. Mine kakapo. Bit too obvious? But mustn't hurt Sirocco's feelings.
