5:32 am
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 you know to do so the expedition would have to come to hundreds of kilometers over the course of ten days. ornithologist you have you know were taken is joined by l.z. ashford a volunteer from scotland they were accompanied by range of let me a break on the journey. this is where the two rivers meet their totally different the children journey is a deep cold river with the strong currents of water in the cabin it's warm they even different color the challenger is greenish because of floodwaters but the kava always stays brown and. still a sea eagles can afford to be free in the market and ski reserve they don't have to
5:33 am
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. there wingspan is almost seventy centimeters as an adult 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 the owner followed just expect to see chicks that they believe hatched in an eagle's nest a few days ago. the engine noise scares the brown 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 ruled is the most important all the time in the expeditions inventory by attaching a video camera the only phone which is used see what's going on in the eagle's nest
5:34 am
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 sea eagles. the ground for people who are you sure giving a delicate girl that much to carry is a good idea. for it is the first woman to ever climb a tree in the back of that ski resort in the past you know when taken always employ the help of the men in the group. yes. well see is a researcher at the royal society for the protection of it's in scotland but nests have been her line of work for several years she has grown over necessary equipment from scotland because she thinks using familiar equipment in an unfamiliar place is much safer. for me than winding 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
5:35 am
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 except 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 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 that's the film is shot from different angles special care is taken not to scare away adult bugs otherwise they might never return to the nest and the chicks would thought of starvation elsie takes a look at the footage before she's even got barrel from the tree. chipped a small white chicks are in life like. i'm going around in the sunshine i find too much of each other to be exciting just thinking of the next two very healthy jake.
5:36 am
decades ago they were good like prison camps and. inmates used to be sent to what is now the market and nature is to procure a fish and game today people are a rare sight here not any of a gauche patrol the territory making his way along narrow trails left as 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. but branches lying close to the pole speak of a campfire but unwelcome guests. this is what is left of a branch that got caught in a fire even though more than thirty years of cost i still shudder when i think back to that inferno. this with this way of getting to any part of the reserve in an
5:37 am
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 sometimes far as compass such a large area for them in from all over the region come to. controlling fire is especially difficult and coniferous forests it takes many years to recover from such a place floods are just as dangerous as. into early spring transporting a few of them basic necessities to the reserves 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
5:38 am
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 we all are followed just decide against inspecting other siegal 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 behave in a very different way. now this this is the first time i've seen chicks fighting all the time they are behaving naturally as they should it's not like they saw you with
5:39 am
your camera it was hidden after all. l.c.s. could began learning russian a few months before arriving in the mega time region well 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 in many everything because you can't remember. a few months you practice so you can use them when you need them 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 we will visit the county and insular on the on ski aisle and for the maritime sector is we will see eagle nests check the bears and tag sea lions are now this part of the trip it's got.
5:40 am
three hundred kilometers from the previous campsite and tugboat fashion into an expedition vessel has entered seal holds. through several killer whales near the ship they seem to be to which the ship's captain many happy returns for his sixty fifth birthday get the ball ready for a large plastic check point is on the horizon. the station on the coney peninsula is home to ranges of the maritime sector. a nature reserve 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 for veterans so again 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
5:41 am
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 jury low tide you'll see them. low tar it 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 here 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 it was completely different to the previous location even in
5:42 am
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 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 barking as soon as they smell of bad they are just as indispensable when rangers look for peaches something bad is often the poachers have better equipment and the reserve personnel. all rules for the poachers carry weapons their boats have powerful engines on the server 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
5:43 am
which it wasn't. 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 and until i can see a female they are down there and a little cub is nearby. when the bears a spotted their exact location will be mocked on the map while the researches conduct their work the ship moves the slow speed. but would evening the captain steps on the gas as they head for the m.c.g. arlen's it's crucial that the ship reached its destination while the weather is still good.
5:44 am
please. please. just so. just so. say. wealthy british scientists. sometimes. markets by now can. find out what's really happening to the global
5:45 am
economy in the cosmic watch. four days of fall see if the stars 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 flukes for a spot to lie on the boat and see that there's the eagle. the sea is quite shallow off shore sergey raises the altitude engine and covers the last few meters using oars once he is on shore he realizes the trespassers have visited the protected area only recently. well this work canister tells me they left the place only a short time ago. and there came later but 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 new people around but there are fresh tracks on the ground left by a pair soon the animal is true binoculars but it pays no attention to the
5:46 am
expedition a bit later the only full of just see another stella segal a short distance away meanwhile the ranger returns from his rounds of the territory he says he has failed 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 liters of fresh water this supply 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
5:47 am
the water is cold but it's pure completely clean and very good for drinking and it's moved 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. eagle's nest which is not on the map 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 motorboat have. a mole called an old friend of his is in charge of a lighthouse. so gay lives there with his wife the cape covers an area of just over
5:48 am
one square kilometer. and you want to know. where the ascii people are. not to follow their hello i haven't seen you in ages how are you. this is a rare sight here the nearest settlement is sixty kilometers from cape town you know i made some pies fresh from the oven make some tea if you wait a minute thank you my idea and theirs to mislead 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 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
5:49 am
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 times more than 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 lighthouse still requires daily 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. 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 again
5:50 am
a city of sorts. towards evening the ship departs for the orleans. the only follow this will meet with fellow scientists studying sea lions. when you we're now approaching meticulous island the main destination of our friend the place is very beautiful and interesting here the sea is about one hundred meters deep ships are best to sear 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 much a 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
5:51 am
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 animals movements in the sea of a hot spot over roughly twenty years which is the average large span of a sea lawyer. fortunately she would stop obviously the animals don't like being disturbed but then it's only one day during their mating season to 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 that's 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 he falls asleep and wake sets and ten minutes
5:52 am
later it doesn't take long to recover from the anaesthetic. feel. i am going to take some blood samples if this is the same blood test will tell us something about the state of the new or in south to see if they're healthy enough that's alright 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 as the tolls is not easy a one week old sea lawyer weighs in the average of twenty seven kilograms space specialists it takes well i think it's that it's quite nice to me because. i can just help us carry. sound like a peaceful house get what that looks like. as biologists label the sea lion pups the adults are in the water the scientists need to make haste to finish the
5:53 am
job as soon as they can this year the expedition has brought together researchers from japan russia and the united states they have to solve the language barrier as they. 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 stuff as america over there and russia over here they swim across the border quite frequently so we have to work in cooperation to better understand how 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 the early spring sloan's 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 piece. this ruling sound means the sea lion has laid claim to the area. what are the things i have been working with such animals for more than twenty years but i'm still and they said their behavior sea lions on shore behave
5:54 am
very differently at sea. but the notion of up with 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 time but they frighten such an especially if they're wearing shiny objects by sea lions attack humans oh 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 to 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 or mythologists of them i get a nature reserve resume. in the daytime these calling me to kill island
5:55 am
so loud that even people shouting at the top of the voice is imho of the fewer than four and a half million in having medical 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 cliff cornices while buzzards make their nest 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 a previous expedition into haiti. and have to return to magadan with no results
5:56 am
this time was on the side of the scientists everybody works together and it's not it's not difficult it's not like. you start say 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 here at a time when there are many different interesting projects. the ship leaves methink you island. during low tide just before dusk in the mess room ashford learns how to cook traditional russian bush. puts potatoes on the boil for ten minutes then add to this 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 that next time elsie ashford will combine both jobs as research and a cook meanwhile
5:57 am
a captain's mate sets of 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 ski 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.
