HMS Warrior is a nineteenth century ironclad. She’s a beautiful vessel moored permanently within the Historic Dockyard at Portsmouth. I pass her every day on the way into work and she never fails to give me a little lift. When I was coming home and the sunset was looking so gorgeous, I couldn’t resist missing my ferry home for this shot!

Tiger! Tiger! Burning bright / In the forests of the night / What immortal hand or eye / Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

This is a shot of the Terminus at Ryde Pier Head. I’m quite fond of this one, I must admit. The title is taken from the album “Axe Victim” by Be Bop Deluxe

Classified as Lower Risk, the giraffes of the African Savanna still suffer from the expansion of ranching and agriculture. Overgrazong has resulted in parts of the Savanna becoming a desert. / Giraffes have seven neck vertebrae, just like other mammals, but they are elongated to allow them to reach vegetation that smaller animals find inaccessible. They also possess a 45 cm long tongue!

This honey bee on my Ceanothus in my back garden was so weighed down by pollen – and yet there always seems to be room for a bit more!

The title for this comes from the album “Fragile” by Yes.

Critically Endangered, a census in Feb 2000 found only between 22-27 Amur or Far Eastern Leopards left in the wild. Found in southern Russia and northern China these animals are superbly adapted for the harsh winters of these parts of the world. They have long fur and a layer of fat on their flanks and belly for insulation. They are excellent climbers and swimmers. The main threat to the region is the exploration and exploitation of oil and natural gases. Increased Middle East instability, effective technology that can survive the cold and the high demand for fossil fuels, puts this wonderful animal’s habitat under increasing pressure. As you will see from others in my portfolio, I am quite fond of big cats! This image is also available as a colour version. Please let me know if you are interested.

The Snow Leopard of the Himalayas is classified Endangered. There are only 4000-7000 left in the world. Hunting and the decline of it’s prey are the main threats and increasingly, man as climbers will often leave gear on the mountains which can injure the animals. / Snow Leopards live at between 3000-5400 metres. Thick fur on the soles of their feet insulate against the cold and they also have enlarged nasal cavities to help breathe at high altitude.

Classified as Lower Risk, the Congo or Forest Buffalo can be found in Africa’s Rainforest. Mainly grazing on grass and lower level leaves, they are nevertheless powerful fighters and can run at speeds of up to 57 km/hr. Note the swept back horns like the Bongo which allows them to escape predators without tangling up in vegetation. Where humans have introduced domestic cattle, buffalo populations have sometimes been affected by diseases and parasites carried by the cattle. Buffalo are also threatened by illegal hunting and loss of habitat.

Yet more from Marwell – what can I say? The animals there are so photogenic!

Golden Lion Tamarins from South America are classified as Endangered. / By 1965 numbers were so low that the Poco das Antas Reserve was established in 1975 in an attempt to protect them. Marwell Zoo is now part of the Tamarin Conservation Programme and several pairs from the zoo have been reintroduced to the wild near the Reserve and are breeding successfully. / Visit www.marwell.org.uk This, I think, is one of my best cutouts. I love the golden colour – these little fellas are just so full of life and energy – they are terrific fun to be around. I think one of these days I’ll have to spend a whole afternoon in their enclosure (it’s a walk through) and sit with a tripod. It’ll be interesting to see what they make of me!
