I want to highlight the unfortunate situation of the elephants in Botswana at the moment...hundreds have been dying mysterious deaths and scientists, biologists and conservationists are all looking for the cause, to understand why this is occurring
please take a moment to watch the video I am sharing that was aired on one of our excellent research and investigative TV shows a few weeks ago..however there are scenes in here that may not be suitable for sensitive viewers!
Saw several herds on this journey. Efforts underway to stop poaching, but it is an ongoing battle, as the gangs are so well organized.
"It's nice to have an elephant in the room. There's nothing more helpful than something everybody's thinking about."
Quote - Seth Meyers
An elephant having a dust bath (also called sand bathing), with the purpose of cleaning skin, and removing parasites.
Hope you will enjoy this shot.

With the water being low in the Sand River, elephants feed on the grasses in the middle of the river and then cross over to the other side to continue on their journey.

Elephants are so special to me, they are such amazing animals and to see them in the wild is a real treat. I'm so grateful I was able to see them, watch them and photograph them.

I was photographing elephants a safe distance in front of me when I heard a noise behind me. This is what I saw when I looked back.
African elephants are under the risk of extinction because of poaching and the illegal trade in ivory. This elephant in South Luangwa National Park has no tusks - a genetic deviation that is quite common among female African elephants. It doesn't seem to hinder her, and at least she will never be poached for her ivory!

An Elephant Hawk Moth (Deilephila elpenor) from a moth trap. Ever since I was a boy I've been fascinated by the incredible colour scheme of these moths. I've been experimenting with different approaches to photographing moths from moth traps. As always, often the simplest methods are best. This was just handheld by holding it up to the sky, and using a twin flash with my concave diffuser designs.

Many thanks for your visit and comments. They are very much appreciated.
Elephant in Botswana. Elephants continue to suffer from poaching and habitat loss. These gentle giants experience love, grief, loyalty and many other emotions. They deserve our help. Botswana is perhaps the best place to view them as they are much less poached than in East Africa and South Africa; Chobe National Park, in the far north of the country is an ideal place to view them, sometimes in herds of 75-100 at a time.
