2010

I have a new years resolution this year, and it's one I will definitely keep; I am going to do a course that will give me the qualifications to work in the tourism industry as a eco-tour guide! This will give me the opportunity to pass on some of my own enthusiasm for the natural environment to others. Nature is the most potent force and we humans need to re-learn how to live with it if future generations are going to have anything left to enjoy, perhaps with the exception of films and books. Imagine poring through books to see what our ancestors saw regularly; how sad would that be. Some people may already know that sensation.............

Even in national parks people drive too fast, this red necked francolin becomes an unfortunate victim to a thoughtless driver
