of animals and admired the bewildering beauty of the region stay with us. cullimore reach seven thousand kilometers from moscow a group of research as has become an expedition to the nature is. there's one of the sea eagles a nest close to a small river on the shore of the sea of a fourth here not very far from here low tide compels them to go to the sea to look for food. to stella siegel is listed in russia's red book and endangered animals eagles of this toy only found in russians for east each year just a company for reserve ranges in space and this in order to do so the expedition would have to come hundreds of films and over the course of ten days. on othello just give you know we've taken is joined by elsie ashford

a volunteer from scotland they're accompanied by range of let me a big push on the journey. this is where the two rivers meet they're totally different the children journey is a keep cold river with a strong current the water in the cabin is warm they even different color the challenger is greenish because the flood waters of the kava always stays brown. still the sea eagles can afford to be free in the reserve they don't have to worry about food there isn't a pond and some fish in the sea of all hopes a nearby river has the stella sea eagle is the largest bird in the area. their wings is almost seventy centimeters as an adult can weigh up to knowing kilograms i can see a grant and eagle is behind it. the boat is going to a full corner of. the only thing was just expect to see chicks that they believe

hatched in an eagle's nest a few days ago. the engine noise. upon seeing the new arrivals he backs away and swiftly disappears into the forest the group has no worries has really attacked people during the summer. a telescope 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 see eagle's nest about the ground some people think are you sure giving a delicate girl that much to carry is a good idea. elsie ashford is the first woman to ever climb a tree in the back of that ski resort in the past you know we've taken always

employed to help the men in the group. yes. elsie is a researcher at the royal society for the protection of it's 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 these than lining this tree is no easy job 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 can't go any further this is where a video camera attached to a rolled comes in handy connection to apply key element of the monitoring procedure is inspecting last at the start of the season we need to know how many chips that hatched you know and how many have survived to the end of the season and then if they're mature enough to leave their nest events the film is shot from different

angles special care is taken not to scare away out of. otherwise they might never return to the nest and the chicks will die of starvation. elsie takes a look at the footage before she's even got down from the tree place full of chicks a small white chicks friend i find. nothing around in the sunshine fighting a mouthful of each other to beaks like or dislike the other side too small but very helpful j. . decades ago they were good like prison camps and. inmates used to be sent to what is now nature is to procure a fish and game today people are a rare sight here but to me of a patrol the territory making his way along narrow trails left by. he always

carries a gun with him a trespasser can be easily spotted from this elevation intruders crossing the reserves by injuries as a threat. branches lying close to the plough speak of a campfire and welcome guests or this is what is left of a branch that got caught in a fire even though more than thirty years have passed i still shudder when i think back to the inferno. this with this 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 toigo may remain a blaze the weeks on end sometimes far as covers such a large area for them in from all over the market and region come to. controlling fire is especially difficult in can do for us forests it takes many years to

recover from such a place floods are just as dangerous as fire into early spring transporting fuel and basic necessities to preserve stuff is an extreme and often life threatening toss. which is more than. on one occasion snowmobiles broke down and we had to walk scores of kilometers such incidents would have made many others quit his job something keeps us going i think it gives us adrenaline i'm happy it's part of my life. it's a challenge that keeps you in good shape. 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. just decided against inspecting other siegal nests they want to waste that toy so they begin looking through the video they filmed the day before.

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 behave 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 i'm region while in the reserve each station notes than you would she hears from her russian colleagues at work it's important if you're working that you don't learn q many every day because you can't remember. a few words he practiced so you can use them when you need quickly. a day later and time is running out the expedition now has to move to another

sector of the result. was that the second phase of the expedition is about to begin when we'll visit the coney peninsula on the on ski islands where the maritime sector is will see eagle nests check the bears and tag sea lions for now this part of the trip is done. three hundred kilometers from the previous campsite and talk but the question is when the expedition vessel has entered the sea of cortes. through several killer whales appeared near the ship they seem to be helped with the ship's captain and many happy returns for his sixty fifth birthday get the ball ready for a large applause the checkpoint is on the horizon. the station on the coney

peninsula is home to ranges of the merits of the market and ski state nature reserve the environment is very harsh. 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 surrogate began his career as a rank and file employee now he is in charge of the ranges guarding the reserves maritime sector they are on duty for about a month for the 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 significant no intruders apart from some little animals. and what about the stellar sea eagles a couple who come from their touring low tide will see them. no toy doesn't come until several hours later at that time a mountain stream flowing into the sea of

a halt can be crossed who believe the tidal currents is so strong that it is impossible to keep one's balance the water is all year round and falling in would be dangerous there are no signs of life in the eagles and this its owner is away hunting for food but soon it appears on the horizon. look eagles. the climate here is it was 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 it's summer so it's for me it's like. winter in scotland maybe. you can feel. the rain just take two dogs on a daily twelve kilometer patrol the dogs begin talking as soon as they smell

a bag they are just as indispensable when rangers look for peaches something bad is often the poachers have better equipment than the reserve personnel. oh to rule over the poachers carry weapons their coats have powerful engines in the stomach and on top of that lawyers provide legal protection or you're unlikely to find any eyewitnesses here a ranger would have to work very hard before the offender could be brought to trial which you want and. as soon as the expedition ship leaves plus the station a family of humpback whales appears the captain still is the best soul along the shore of the research is take stock of the best inhabiting the county and then see what i can see at the now they are down there and a little compass nearby. when the bears are sported their exact location will be mocked on the map while the researches conduct their work ship moves of the slow

speed. but would evening the captain steps on the gas as they head for the m.c.r. islands it's crucial that the ship reached its destination while the weather is still good. closers that so much i'm going to give each musician a hard time to mark the united nations global body in search of a mission often derided as a competent and ineffective deal when it is also accused of. he.

says. four days of pulses the stuff of the expedition the mc islands a still a long way away but the expedition has already run out of fresh water rain just sergei steps off looks for a spot to land the boat and see that there's the eagle. the sea is quite shallow off shore sergey raises the engine and covers the last few meters using was once he is on shore he realizes the trespassers visited

a protected area only recently with well this water canister tells me they left the place only a short time ago. the bear came later with 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. ocean most likely. there are no people around but there are fresh tracks on the ground left by a pair soon the animal is spotted through binoculars but it pays no attention to the expedition a bit later the only foliage is see another stela see a short distance away meanwhile the ranger returns from his rounds of the territory he says he has failed no poachers go have some say the series here in the north is very monotonous but in fact it is very beautiful this is where the dander in our springtime flower which is listed in russia's red book and ventured 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 liters 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 smooths to. the water is now on board and the ships tanker is raised the weather is ideal for making observations half an hour later you know finds an eagle's nest which is not on the map he will market his new eagle seems to be alone and as it 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 hits into a motorboat to have a cape cod game are called an old friend of his is in charge of the lighthouse. so you live there with his wife covers an area of just over one square kilometer. and you want to own. people or. not to follow their hello i haven't seen you in ages how are you. this is his are a rare sight here the nearest settlement is sixty kilometers from cape. yeah i made some pies fresh from the oven i make some tea if you wait a minute oh thank you my idea and there's damage he takes care of the household

chores. is responsible for maintaining the lighthouse he has to be a jack of all trades there is nobody to help if something goes wrong these instances know we are proud to live here even if it means living so far away. as we are like a border guard. it's like living at the end of the world that's true there are rocks on one side and sea on the other there are no people around here you see nobody but beasts and even they are very tame. before dusk 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 duty at the entrance. much has changed since then

but the litel still requires daily maintenance specially designed lenses enable the lights 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. 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 of dentistry of sorts. towards evening the ship because for the mc arlen's. the only follow this will meet with fellow scientists studying sea lions. we're now approaching martin real island the main destination of our trip the place is very beautiful and interesting here the sea is a bad one 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 a matter kill island in the late one thousand eight hundred scientists raise the alarm of discovering a dramatic form in the number of these mammals. 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 the population more accurately the newborn's of them tagged and given a number. the procedure makes it possible to track the animals movements in the sea of a halt. over roughly twenty years which is the average lifespan of a sea lawyer. which would obviously the animals don't like being

disturbed but then it's only one day during their mating season but 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 start vets administer an anaesthetic to the seal and pups to ensure a painless operation. because the sea lions are even a special gas for about three minutes if all the sleep and wake sets in ten minutes later doesn't take long to recover from the anaesthetic. few. we can but i'm going to take some blood samples if this is the blood test will tell us something about the state of the newborn south to see if they're healthy enough that's all right here 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 cost is not easy

a one week old sea lawyer weighs in the average of twenty seven kilograms space specialists it takes well i think. that it's quite nice to me because. i can just help it's carrying. so i could be useful it helps get what you look like. as biologists label 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 has brought together researches from japan russia and the united states they have to solve the language barrier as they go. really important for us to work us in an american colleagues and russian colleagues store see lines don't look at the border and say oh stop those america over there in russia over here they swim across the border quite 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 lines come to the beach almost to kill island over the oyster males of the first two or roy they have to fight for a place on the beach. this ruling sound means the sea lion has laid claim to the area that i'm with what are the people i 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. my goodness you up with me 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 some sign of a fright at such an especially if they're wearing shiny objects by sea lions attacking humans no that has never happened with. the scientists of label two hundred c. laws. and pups each of the animals now has difficulty recording their weight and

individual characteristics. after a day or two it will be as humans were never here the sea lions will return to their daily routine lying around on the beach going to sea in search of food and they're seeing their pups. after the departure of their colleagues the following morning the only foliage just of state nature reserve was you watching in the daytime these colonies are so much to kill island. that even people shout at the top of the voice is composed of people. who've been for the whole million and having met the island even though it's only six square kilometers they are few and far between the south because the wind is a strong cliffs it's the central part of the tracks most interest. there's a difference between nothing happens it will look for example occupy narrow cliff

cornices. there now 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 or even research no matter how i learned it is a very cold place to get to a previous expedition run into haiti. and have to return to my get on with no results this time but was on the side of the scientists everybody works together and it's not it's not difficult it's not like. historic say 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 leaves messick you island. during load toy just before dusk in the mess room s food learns how to

cook traditional russian bush. puts potatoes on the boil for ten minutes then add it insists to. the expedition members unknown the last noida for the ship it is all for us 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 ashford will combine both jobs as research and a cook meanwhile a captain's mate sets a course back to maggette. but whale again appears on the horizon just like during the voyage the m.c.r. looms the expedition to the megatrends the nature reserve is nearing its end it has covered more than the finals and kilometers in ten days and collected a wealth of material for the study. the team's mission is complete.
