At last! A working video player on my site
(Well,mostly. If you view them full screen,please make sure “scaling”is off –the player doesn’t seem to upsize the small files needed for internet display very well!)
Timelapse-King Haakon Bay
A short timelapse clip from my expedition to South Georgia,showing the chaos of unloading gear on the beach in King Haakon Bay (pronounced King Hokon Bay by the Norwegians in our group –I guess they’re most likely to have the correct pronunciation!).
Roldan and “Jonny”
A short video from the Falkland Isles,where they have a very unusual bird of prey –a fearsome scavenger called the Striated Caracara. The best I can describe it is like a cross between a kea (highly intelligent and mischievous New Zealand parrot) and a big black crow,with a bit of eagle thrown in to make it a bird of prey!
It’s surprising how shy it can be though –when it’s being offered food! Chef Roldan offers scraps to the resident population on Carcass Isle,but will he get any takers?
(And yes,this is a very rough edit –it should be smoother on the transitions,but that takes time I don’t have right at this minute –hopefully when the current project has ended,I’ll have a lot more time to catch up on properly editing all the video I’ve got piled up!)
