one exhilarating trip to russia's far east to meet the rarest cases of animals. stay with us. cullimore reach seven thousand kilometers from moscow a group of research has become an expedition through the nature reserve. there is one of the eagle enough close to a small river on the shore of the sea of a hole it's not very far from here low tide compels them to go to the sea to look for food. the still a sea eagle is listed in russia's red book of red and endangered animals eagles of this toy found in russia's four east each year just a company for reserve ranges in space and this enormous do so the expedition have to come hundreds of kilometers over the course of ten days.

ornithologist give you know we've taken is joined by l.z. ashford a volunteer from scotland they're accompanied by range of let me a big journey. this is where the two rivers meet they're totally different the children journey is a deep cold river with a strong current the water in the cabin is warm they even different color the challenger is greenish because of floodwaters but the kava always stays brown and. still the sea eagles can afford to be free in the reserve they don't have to worry about food there is an abundance of fish in the sea of a halt a nearby river has to stand the sea eagle is the longest in the area. there is almost seventy centimeters as an adult can weigh up to knowing kilograms i can feel your branch and eagle is behind it. the boat is going to

a far corner of the reserve they're the only full of just expect to see chicks that they believe hatched in an eagle's nest a few days ago. the engine noise. upon seeing that your eyeballs backs away and swiftly disappears into the forest the group has no worries has really attacked people during the summer. a telescopic ruled is the most important always home in the expeditions inventory by attaching a video camera the only phone which is what used to see what's going on in the eagle's nest even though it only takes a few minutes to get to the nest but it actually comes to climbing the tree preparations take a lot longer stella's siegel's missed the ground people can and are you sure giving a delicate girl that much to carry is a good idea. l.c.s. foot is the first woman to ever climb

a tree in the back of that ski resort in the past. always employ the help of the men in the group of people. yes. l c is a researcher at the royal society for the protection of bugs in scotland but its nests have been her line of work for several years she has brought all the necessary equipment from scotland because she thinks using familiar equipment in an unfamiliar place is much safer. for the new mining this tree is no easy job and it will take elsie at least forty minutes to get to the nest especially if she observes all of the safety rules. elsie's progress is blocked she cannot go any further this is where a video camera attached to a rolled comes in handy connection a key element of the monitoring procedure is inspecting yes at the start of the season with us when we need to know how many chicks have hatched and how many have

survived the end of the season and then if they're mature enough to leave their nest that's the film is shot from different tangles special care is taken not to scare away adult bugs otherwise they might never return to the nest and the chicks we thought of starvation elsie takes a look at the footage before she's even got barrels from the tree. chipped the small white chicks are in my family. i think around in the sunshine aren't in the middle of each other she breaks like this just like you know the next step to great health care. decades ago they would do like prison camps and. inmates used to be sent to what is now the megatons good nature is to procure fish and game today people are. not in the patrols

the territory making his way along never trails left by as he always carries a gun with him a trespasser can be easily spotted from this elevation intruders crossing the reserves by injuries as the threat. branches lying close to the plough speak of a camp fire started by unwelcome guests or this is what is left of a branch causing a fire even though more than thirty years of past i still shudder when i think back to that inferno. the swiftest way of getting to any part of the reserve in an emergency is by helicopter. when a fire flares up the helicopters will have to make dozens of trips a day but even that does little to help. the tiger may remain a blaze of weeks on end sometimes far as come to such a large area the firemen from all over the region come to help. controlling fire

is especially difficult intended for us forests and takes many years to recover from such a blaze floods justice dangerous is. in early spring transporting fuel and basic necessities to preserve stuff is an extreme and often life threatening toss which is more than. one occasion snowmobiles broke down and we had to walk scores of kilometers such incidents would have made many others quit this job but something keeps us going i think it gives us adrenaline i'm happy it's part of my life. it's a challenge that you see when. the following morning the weather changes abruptly it is clear from the full cost that the rain will keep coming down for almost a week all of fall or just a side against inspecting of a seagull nests but they want to waste that toy so they begin looking through the

video they filmed the day before. and i would like to take a closer look at what you filmed. i couldn't see it clearly in the sunlight. well i didn't expect to see that the chicks i saw were older and they behaved in a very different way. now this this is the first time i've seen chicks fighting all the time they're behaving naturally as they should it's not like they saw you with your camera it was hidden after all. l.c.s. food began learning russian a few months before arriving in the market region while in the reserve each day she notes than you would she hears from her russian colleagues at work it's important if you're working that you know many of the calls you can't remember. a few

months a part so you can use them when you can quickly. a day later and time is running out the expedition now has to move to another sector of the result. didn't go through the second phase of the expedition is about to begin when we'll visit the coney peninsula on the on ski aisle and for the maritime sector is we'll see eagle nests check the bears and tag sea lions or now this part of the trip is done. three hundred kilometers from the previous campsite and tugboat fashion into an expedition vessel has entered seal. through several killer whales near the ship they seem to be able to push the ship's captain many happy returns on his sixty fifth birthday get the ball ready for

a large plastic check point is on the horizon. the station on the colony is home to ranges of the maritime sector of the market and ski state nature reserve the environment is very harsh sergei schmidt soft accompanies the group of researches at this stage of the expedition with a service record of more than twenty years is one of the reserves veterans gave again his career as a rank and file employee now he is in charge of the ranges go in the reserves maritime sector they are on duty for about a month at a time the rangers are a self-sufficient community. apart from guarding the territory they keep records of the natural environment was the situation no money nothing to speak of little said you know intruders apart from some little animals. and what about the stellar siegel's a couple who come from there during low tide you'll see them. low tide doesn't come

until several hours later at that time a mountain stream flowing into the sea of all courts can be crossed normally the title current is so strong that it is impossible to keep one's balance the water is always see all year round and falling in would be dangerous there are no signs of life in the eagle's nest its owner is away hunting for food but soon it appears on the horizon. look evil. the climate here is almost completely different to the previous location even in the height of summer the weather poses a challenge it's a little bit cold. but it's not winter it's this summer so it for me it is like. winter in scotland maybe. i can feel. the rain just take

two dogs on the daily twelve kilometer patrol the dogs begin barking as soon as they smell a bag they are just as indispensable when ranges look for peaches unseen bad as often the poachers have better equipment than the reserve personnel. all rules are the order the poachers carry weapons their boats have powerful engines on with their work and on top of that lawyers provide legal protection which you're unlikely to find any eyewitnesses here a ranger would have to work very hard before the offender could be brought to trial if you want and performance. as soon as the expedition ship leaves plus the station a family of humpback whales appears the captions the is the vessel along the shore of the research is take stock of the best inhabiting because in civil war i can see a female bear down there and a little compass nearby. when the bears

a spotted their exact location will be on the map while the research is conduct their work ship moves a slow speed. but would evening the captain steps on the gas as they head for the ski arlen's it's crucial that the ship reached its destination while the weather is still good. question is that so much given to each musician on the market the united nations the global body in search of a mission often derided as a competent and ineffective deal when it is also accused of. sleep. a

little least six. six six. six. six pts six. days a pulse is the stuff of the expedition the m.c.r. lens still a long way away but the expedition has already run out of fresh water rain just

surrogates fits all looks for a spot to land the boat see that there's the eagle. the sea is quite shallow off shore sergey raises the ople the engine and covers the last few meters using oars once he is on shore he realizes that trespass is a visit to the protected area only recently. well this water canister tells me they left the place only a short time ago. and there came later with it it's clear it's been a good deal of time here sharpening its claws i'm quite sure the guys wasted no time either. potion most likely. there are no people around but there are fresh tracks on the ground left by a bear soon the animal is spotted true binoculars but it pays no attention to the expedition a bit later the only full of just see another stela see a short distance away meanwhile the ranger returns from his rounds of territory he

says he has found no poachers. have some say the series here in the north is very monotonous but in fact it is very beautiful this is really dander in our springtime flower which is listed in russia's red book common danger plants and animals this one began to bloom just a few days ago. when the rising tide comes they will need to collect some two hundred pieces of fresh water this supplies should last until the end of the trip many of the expedition participants have been suffering from dehydration this is the only chance to replenish the water supply for as long as the ship remains at sea. this water is absolutely fresh because it comes here from the snow fields the water is cold but it's pure completely clean and very good for drinking and it's smooth to. the water is now on board and the ships tanker is raised the weather is ideal for making

observations off an hour later you know it would take an eagle's nest which is not on the map but he will market his new eagle seems to be alone the nest is very tiny . the weather rapidly deteriorates and the birds head to the rocks watching them becomes impossible moreover the fog makes sailing in these conditions dangerous so the ship comes to a halt. ranges of gets into a motor boat. with a mark of an old friend of his is in charge of a lighthouse. so you live there with his wife the cape covers an area of just over one square kilometer. and you want to know. nada hello there hello i haven't seen you in ages how are you. this is are

a rare sight here the nearest settlement is sixty kilometers from cape town yeah i made some pious pressure from the up in a mix and see if you wait a minute oh thank you my dear and that is to make the takes care of the household chores. ok is responsible for maintaining the lighthouse he has to be a jack of all trades there is nobody to help if something goes wrong this instance is all we are proud to live here even if it means living so far away. we are like border guards. it's like living at the end of the world that's true there are rocks on one side and see on the other there are no people around here you see nobody but beasts and even they are very tame. before goes to the lighthouse there are more than two hundred time one steps in the spiral

staircase. in the soviet union the lighthouse was a strategic naval installation and was guarded accordingly a sentry was on round the clock usually at the entrance. much has changed since then but the lighthouse still requires a lee maintenance specially designed lenses enable the light to be seen from twelve nautical miles away even though the power of the lamps is five hundred watts says this i was a child when my parents brought me here in one thousand nine hundred sixty two and that's when i took a fancy to this place when i grew up i brought my kids here they too have grown up here as such i might call my family again a city of sorts. towards evening to ship the parts for v.m.c. . the only fellow just will meet with fellow scientists studying sea

lions. we're now approaching not a real island the nine destination of our friend the place is very beautiful and interesting here the sea is about a hundred meters deep ships are best to steer clear of this place during a storm or change inside there is no telling what tricks it may have in store for you. the pacific's northernmost habitats of sea lions is all magical island in the late night and eighty's scientists raise the alarm after discovering a dramatic form in the number of these memos. since then an international group of scientists has come to the mc arlen's each year. to begin with all the adults he learns to shoot away from the beach then they were called the pups so as to estimate the size of a population more accurately the newborns of intact and given

a number. the procedure makes a possible strike the animal's movements in the sea of a halt over roughly twenty years which is the average large span of a c lot. resort of this lady animals don't like being disturbed but then it's only one day during their mating season we set a particular day aside when the harm done to the sea lion population is reduced to a minimum since the procedure has been perfected down to the smallest detail to start that's administer an anaesthetic to the seal and pups to ensure a painless operation. looking beyond the sea lions breathe in a special gas for about three minutes he falls asleep and wake sets in ten minutes later doesn't take long to recover from the anaesthetic. few. i am going to take some blood samples if the law test will tell us something about

the state of the new going south to see if they're healthy enough that so ninety year they have a chance the job involves a good deal of physical labor and unfortunately the team is short handed this year . the expedition is grateful to the ashford for help as the toast is not easy a one week old sea lawyer weighs in the average of twenty seven kilograms a special fifty strike in the sense that it's quite nice to me because. i can just help us carry. so i can be useful and it helps getting let down most likely. as biologists labeled the sea lion pups the adults are in the water the scientists need to make haste to finish the job as soon as they can this year the expedition is brought to get the researchers from japan russia and the united states they have to solve the language barrier as they could. really important for

us to work us in an american colleagues and russian colleagues pres dorsey lines don't look at the border and say oh stuff as america over there and russia over here they swim across the border upright frequently so we have to work in cooperation to better understand the nature that goes across the borders is doing whether they're doing well or not what we need to do to manage them. in early spring see loans come to the beach will match kill island over the oyster males of the first two or roy they have to fight for a place on the beach. this ring silence means the sea lion has laid claim to the area. where the female have been working with such animals for more than twenty years but i'm still in they said their behavior sea lions on shore behave very differently at sea. but then you should do what we think when they're on the beach they're agile like birds but at sea they get very inquisitive they approach tigers

in stick with them for sometime but they frighten such an especially if they're wearing shiny objects by sea lions attack humans no that has never happened before with. the scientists label two hundred c. laws. pops each of the animals now has difficulty recording their weight and individual characteristics. after a day or two it will be as though humans were never here. in their daily routine lying around on the beach going to see in search of food and they're seeing their pups. after the departure of their colleagues the following morning. of the mega state nature reserve was you watching in the daytime these colonies of to kill island. even people shouting at the top of the voice is imho the fewer than four and a half million have

a magical island even though it's only six square kilometers they are few and far between in the south because the wind is a stroll along the cliffs it's the central part of the tracks most interest. there's a difference between nothing happened will look for example occupy narrow cornices buzzards make their nests among rocks this means that there are no free plots of land and the birds occupy the entire island. just would like to spend more time researching. it is a very small place to get a previous expedition into haiti. and have to return. results this time. of the scientists everybody works together and it's not it's not difficult it's not like. you start to see voids where you have no water no free and many health problems i see even more than i expected because i've

been very lucky to be here at a time when there are many different interesting projects. the ship needs met a queue island. during low tide just before dusk in the mess room ashford learns how to cook traditional russian borscht. goods puts a sails on the boil for ten minutes then add to this to. the expedition members unknown the last night before the ship it is all feels that everyone is toilet but everyone is reflecting on the vivid impressions of the trip even those that have been here before the captain says jokingly that next time elsie i should combine both jobs as research and a cook meanwhile a captain's mate sets a course back to make it a humpback whale again appears on the horizon just like during the voyage to be empty islands the expedition to the maggot and ski nature reserve is nearing its
