there is one of the sea eagle nest close to a small river on the shore of the sea of a whole lot here not very far from here low tide compels them to go to the sea look for food. to stella siegel is listed in russia's red book of red and endangered animals eagles and this toy only found in russians for east each year just a company for reserve ranges in space then this you know to do so the expedition would have to come hundreds of kilometers over the course of ten days. on othella just give you know which is joined by l.z. ashford a volunteer from scotland they were accompanied by range of let me a break on the journey of this is where the two rivers meet their totally different the children journey is a jeep culture with

a strong current the water in the cabin is warm they even different color the challenger is greenish because a flood waters of the kava always stays brown. still a sea eagles can afford to be free in the market that's b. reserve they don't have to worry about food there is not some fish in the sea of all holts a nearby rivers is still a sea eagle is the largest bird in the area. their wing span is almost seventy centimeters and an adult can weigh up to knowing kilograms i can see a branch an eagle is behind it. the boat is going to a far corner of the result of their own a fellow just expect to see chicks that they believe hatched in an eagle's nest a few days. the engine noise. upon seeing the new arrivals it backs away and swiftly disappears into the forest the group has no

worries has really attacked people during the summer. a telescopic route is the most important always for me in the expeditions inventory by attaching a video camera the only phone which is well used see what's going on in the eagle's nest even though it only takes a few minutes to get to the nest when it actually comes to climbing the tree preparations take a lot longer stella's siegel's. of the ground from people who 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 market and ski resort in the post. was employed to help the men in the group. yes. cell c. is a researcher at the royal society for the protection of bugs in scotland but 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. when the 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 make up a key element of the monitoring procedure is inspecting us at the start of the season with us because we need to know how many chips the patched 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 bugs otherwise they might never return to the nest and the chicks we saw of starvation elsie takes

a look at the footage before she's even got dialled from the tree place full of chips a small white chicks are in line for me. i'm going around in the sunshine fighting a battle with each other she breaks like this just like you know the next step too small but very helpful jake. decades ago they would do like prison camps and. inmates used to be sent what is now nature is to procure a fish and game today people are a rare sight here at any of a gauche patrol the territory making his way along the 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 pole speak of

a camp. welcome 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 much of that 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 spells little to help. the toigo may remain a blaze for weeks on end some toys for as cover such a large area of the farm in from the region come to. controlling fire is especially difficult in coniferous forests it takes many years to recover from such a place floods are just as dangerous as files into early spring transporting fuel and basic necessities to the reserves is an extreme and often life threatening task

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 for. 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 but 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 and 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. could began learning russian a few months before arriving in the market i'm reachin well in the reserve each day she notes down new words she hears from her russian colleagues at work it's important if you're working in many africa because you can't remember. a few months we practice a lot so you can use them when you need quickly. the day later and time is running out the expedition now has to move to another sector of the result. been moved to the second phase of the expedition is about to begin and will visit the korean peninsula on the on ski islands for 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 expedition vessel has entered the sea of a whole. series several killer whales appeared near the ship they seem to be helped with the ship's captain many happy returns for his sixty fifth birthday get the ball ready for a large game plus a checkpoint is on the horizon. the station on the coney peninsula is home to ranges of the maritime sector of the market and ski state nature reserve the environment is very hard to gauge that soft accompanies the group of researches

at this stage of the expedition with a service record of more than twenty years he's 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 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 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 normally the title current is so strong that it is impossible to keep one's balance the water is always here all year round a 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 even though . 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 it's summer so it's amazing it's like. winter in scotland maybe. you 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 rangers look for peaches something bad is often approaches have better equipment than the reserve personnel.

well for the poachers carry weapons their boats have powerful engines on the stove 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 which he was and. as soon as the expedition ship leaves plus the station a family of humpback whales appears the captain still is the best all along the shore of the research is take stock of the best inhabiting the coney peninsula what i can see a female mayor down there and a little compass nearby. when the bears a spotted their exact flow cation will be multimap while the research is conduct their work ship moves to the slow speed. it would be evening the captain steps on the gas as they head for the mc islands it's crucial that the ship reached its destination while the weather is still good.

wealthy british style stock. markets finally. come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy with my stronger by no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune in to kaiser report on our keep. bringing you the latest in science and technology from around the world. we've got the future covered. four days of policies the start of the

expedition the m.c.i. lens but still a long way away but the expedition has already run out of fresh water rain just sagacious that's off look for a spot to land the boat and see that there's the eagle the sea is quite shallow off shore so again raises the altitude engine and covers the last few meters using or was once he's on shore he realizes the trespass is a visit to the protected area only recently. well this water kind of such tells me they left the place only a short time ago because the bear came later with you 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 you'll. most likely. there are no people around but there are fresh tracks on the ground left by a bad suing the animal is spotted true binoculars but he pays no attention to the

expedition. a bit later the ornithologist see another stella segal a short distance away meanwhile the ranger returns from his rounds of the territory he says he has found no poachers. 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 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 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's smooth till. 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 taking eagle's nest which is not on the map. will market is new the 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 motorboat to head for cape cod. markoff an old friend of his is in charge of the lighthouse. so gay lives there with his wife the cape covers an area of just over

one square kilometer. you want to own. people. not to follow their fellow i haven't seen you in ages how are you. this is a rare sight here the nearest settlement is sixty kilometers from cape. yeah i made some pa is fresh from the oven i make some tea if you wait a minute thank you my idea and the dish to mislead takes care of the household chores so 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 these instances know we're 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 dusk surrogate 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. 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'm i call my family a dynasty of sorts. towards evening the ship the parts for the

ski arlen's. the only follow this will meet with fellow scientists studying sea lions. we're now approaching meticulous island the main destination of our trip the place is very beautiful and interesting here the sea is about a hundred meters deep ships our 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 us. the pacific's northernmost habitats of sea lions is a matter kill island in the late one nine hundred eighty s. scientists raise the alarm after 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 actually the newborns of intact and given a number. the procedure makes it possible to track the animal's movements in the sea of a halt. over roughly twenty years which is the average lifespan of a scene. for us with this book 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 faked down to the smallest detail start that's administer an anaesthetic to the sea law and pups to ensure a painless operation. because if the 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.

we can i am going to take some blood samples if the blood test will tell us something about the state of the new born south to see if they're healthy enough that's all right dear 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 at the top is not easy a one week old sea lawyer weighs an average of twenty seven kilograms space special fifteen so i think it's that it's quite nice to me because. i can just tell scary. sounds like a peaceful and it helps get like don't look like. as biologists label the sea lion pups the adults in the water the scientists need to make haste to finish the job as

soon as they care this year the expedition is grouped together researches from japan russia and the united states they have to solve the language barrier as the. really important for us to work us in an american colleagues in russian colleagues because store c. lines don't look at the border and say oh stuff. 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 ring sound means the sea lion has laid claim to the area that i'm with what are the things 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. like

a notion you work with when they're on the beach they're agile like birds but at sea they get very inquisitive they approached divers in stick with them for some time but they try to touch him especially if they're wearing shiny objects by sea lions attacking humans no that has never happened with the. the scientists label two hundred c law and 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 to sea lions will return to their daily routine lying around on the beach going to sea in search of food and they're sitting there pops. after the departure of their colleagues the following morning the owner of the state nature reserve was you watching in the day telling these colonies of to kill island. that even people shouting at the top of

the can hardly. fuel them for the whole million happy magical island even though it's a new 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 trust. there's a difference between nothing happens it will look for example occupy a narrow cliff cornices while 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 research to kill island it is a very cold place to get to a previous expedition run into haiti. and have to return to. this time. of the scientists everybody works together and

it's not it's not practical it's not like. it starts a voyage 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 there at a time when there are many different interesting projects. the ship leaves messy keil i learned during low tide just before dusk in the mess room as he asked for it learns how to cook traditional russian borscht. foods potatoes on the boil for ten minutes then add attendees to. the expedition members unknown the last night for the ship it is obvious that everyone is tired but everyone is reflecting on the vivid impressions of the trip even those that have been here before the captain says jokingly the next time elsie asked for the book combine both jobs as

researcher and the 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 the empty islands the expedition to the maggot and 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. home.
