Welsh Bird & Wildlife Photographer Mic Clark's photos have been taken on the coast, rivers,lakes and the countryside around Mid, West & South Wales.
My Kingfisher photos were taken on my local river close to where I live this pair of birds I have watched fly up & down the river so I set up a couple of perches which they now use.
My Bittern Photos were taken at Forest Farm Reserve in Cardiff over a six week period between January & February 2010, with the exception of the last four shots, which were taken at Slimbridge Wetland Centre.
Photographs taken in other locations are detailed below.
India 2010
My priority on this trip to India was to photograph as many Royal Bengal Tigers as my naturalists could find without intruding into or disturbing their natural habitat. I had booked an ambitious twelve safaris in three tiger reserves. Due to the extensive amount of travelling across country via road and railway, I was pleased to complete eleven safaris in total. My first four safaris were undertaken in Kanha in central India, with naturalist Narayan who was keen to ensure we saw at least one tiger on each safari. He was also able to identify all of the birds we encountered by their song as well as sight. Following a six-hour drive to Bandhavgarh. my next naturalist, Joseph, was again passionate about wildlife and, at this reserve, my wife and I witnessed a tiger stalk then kill a spotted deer, before dragging it up the embankment past us. As if this wasn't a sufficiently awesome experience, a pair of seven month old cubs came out of the forest at dusk and each one settled on a rock, gazing at the gypsy jeeps that were lined up along the road, their occupants trying to spot the mother tiger in the undergrowth. My final set of safaris took place in Ranthambore, Northern India, where Farouk was our naturalist. All three reserves were different, with Kanha being the most verdant and lush, while Bandhavgarh and Ranthambore were much more arid.
On Safari in Kenya 2009
My birds and wildlife photos in Kenya were taken whilst on three safaris during the month of August, these being Samburu, the Masai Mara and the Great Rift Valley.
Birding in the Gambia 2009
These photographs were taken during two visits to the country in April and November, in two different areas of the country. An official local bird guide is the best way to find some of the less common species that you want to see or photograph.
