colima reach seven thousand kilometers from moscow a group of researchers has become an expedition true the speed nature reserve. there's one of the sea eagles a 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 of this type only found in russia's four east each year just accompanied by reserve ranges inspect and this you know to do so the expedition will have to come to hundreds of kilometers over the course of ten days . going to follow just give you know when taken is joined by l.z. ashford a volunteer from scotland they're accompanied by range of let me have

a question on the journey of the new this is where the two rivers meet their totally different the children journey is a deep cold river with the strong currents the water in the cabin is warm they even different color the challenger is greenish because of floodwaters of the kava always stays brown. still a sea eagles can afford to be free in the market at ski reserve they don't have to worry about food there is not some fish in the sea of all halts a nearby rivers is still a sea eagle is the largest bird in the area. there when it is almost seventy centimeters and the adults can weigh up to knowing kilograms i can see a branch an eagle is behind it. the boat is going to a full court of reserve of the owner philip just expect to see chicks that they believe hatched in an eagle's nest

a few days. 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 telescope it rolled is the most important item 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 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 sea eagles nest boy about 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 that is the result of in the past we've taken to employ the help of the men in the group. yes. elsie is

a researcher at the royal society for the protection of in scotland but nests have been her line of work for several years she has brought the necessary equipment from scotland because she thinks using familiar equipment in an unfamiliar place is much safer. for the mining 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 cannot go any further this is where a video camera attached to a rolled comes in handy connection need 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 and how many have survived to the end of the season and then if they're mature enough to leave their nest he gets the film is shot from different angles special care is taken not

to scare away out of the bugs otherwise they might never return to the nest and the shapes of starvation i will see takes a look at the footage before she's even got dialled from the tree place full of chicks a small white chicks crying and i feel like. i'm saying around in the sunshine franklin to love each other to beaks like this just like you know the next step to bring healthy chicks. decades ago they would do like prison camps and. inmates used to be sent to what is now the maggot and skin nature is a queue of fish and game today people are a rare sight here at any of a gauche patrolled the territory making his way along narrow 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 a threat. branches lying close to the pole 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 of cost 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 spells little to help. the toigo may remain a blaze for weeks on end sometimes far as covers such a large area the foreman from all over the market and region come to help. controlling fire is especially difficult and coniferous forests it takes many years to recover from such

a place floods are just as dangerous as fire in early spring transporting fuel and basic necessities to the reserves 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 his job with something keeps us going i think it gives us adrenaline i'm happy it's part of my life. it's a challenge to keep 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 all of ologist decided against inspecting other siegal nests they want to waste that toy so they begin looking through the video they filmed the day before this is just going to put some of them probably 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 and reaching 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 that you learn to many of us you can't remember. a few words 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 and the result

of. the move to the second phase of the expedition is about to begin we will visit the coney and insula on the on ski islands for the maritime sector is a full sea eagle nests check the bears and tagged sea lines for now this part of the trip is down. three hundred kilometers from the previous campsite and tugboat fashion into an expedition vessel has entered the sea of cortes. through several killer whales 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 applause the checkpoint is on the horizon. the station on the coney peninsula is home to ranges of the merits of the magnet 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 well none of 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 you'll see them. low tide doesn't come until several hours later at that time a mountain stream flowing into the sea of a halts can be crossed movie the title current 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 eagle's nest its owner is away hunting for food but soon it appears on the horizon. look eat all. 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's sunny it's just like. winter in scotland maybe. you can feel. the rain just take two dogs on the daily twelve kilometer patrol the dogs begin talking as soon as they smell a bad they are just as indispensable when rangers look for peaches something bad is

often approaches have better equipment in the reserve personnel. all rules are one through or the poachers carry weapons their boats have powerful engines in the stomach 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 it wasn't. as soon as the expedition ship leaves plus the station a family of humpback whales appears the captain steve is the vessel along the shore of the researches take stock of the paths inhabiting the twenty and instead i can see a female they are down there and a little compass nearby. when the bears are spotted their exact location will be mocked on the map while the researches conduct their work ship moves the 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. are. we here because of our patchy outs that. god promised them this the land belongs to. will if they are still going to be thinking. and going chosen people will not believe that god is real state say ok it is that is just for you guys this guy is as we. know this is a. different might not their. problem your.

son. two days of pulse is the stuff of the expedition yet still a long way away but the expedition has already run out of fresh water rain just so gay sets 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 outboard engine and covers the last few meters using oars once he is on shore he realizes the trespassers visited the protected area only recently. 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. persian most likely. there are no people around but there are fresh tracks on the ground left by a pair suni animal is spotted through binoculars but it pays no attention to the expedition a bit later the only follow just 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. for 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 endangered plants and animals and 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 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 ship's anchor is raised the weather is ideal for making observations half an hour later it or you know taken 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 motorboat to have

a cape. mark off 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 one square kilometer. you want to own. ass keeper. not to hello there hello i haven't seen you in ages how are you. visitors are a rare sight here and nearest settlement to sixty kilometers from cape to yeah i made some pies fresh from the oven i make some tea if you wait a minute oh thank you my idea that there's no mystery 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.

we are like order 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 a beer 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 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 a genesee of sorts. towards evening the ship to pose for the ski arlen's. the only thought i just will meet with fellow scientists studying sea lions. and. we're now approaching mattick real island the main destination of our trip the place is very beautiful and interesting here in the sea is about one hundred meters deep ships our 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. but. the pacific's northernmost habitats of sea lions is almost to 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 adult sea lions to shoot away from the beach then they record the pups so as to estimate the size of the population more accurately a newborn's of them tagged and given a number. the procedure makes it possible to track the animal's movements in the sea of a hot. over roughly twenty years which is the average lifespan of a scene. of the sort of this leave the animals don't like being disturbed but then it's only ones a 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 come to the smallest detail.

that's administer an anaesthetic to the seal and pumps to ensure a painless operation. because 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. chips we can i am going to take some blood samples if the blood test will tell us something about the state of the newborns felf to see if they're healthy enough that's all right dear they are they on the job involves a good deal of physical labor and unfortunately the team is short handed this year . the expedition is grateful to the asheville for help as the coast is not easy a one week old sea lawyer weighs an average of twenty seven kilograms space special it's like the sentiments that it's quite nice to me because. i think it's

healthy just carrying. so i can be useful and it helps get like the most likely. 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 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 can. really important for us to work us in an american colleagues and russian colleagues still are seeing lines don't look at the border and say oh stop america over there and 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. what it would have been working with such animals for more than twenty years but i'm still in the days of their behavior sea lions on shore behave very differently at sea. my goodness you work 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 sometime they try to touch him especially if they're wearing shiny objects by sea lions attacking humans no no no that has never happened with. the scientists of label two hundred cielo. and pop's each of the animals now has a stiff a good 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 saying there pops. after the departure of colleagues the following morning the owner of the my dad's estate nature reserve was you watching in the daytime these colonies of to kill island a so loud that even people shouting at the top of the voices can hold the few more than four and a half million in the 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 truck's most interest. there's a difference between nesting habits will look for example occupy narrow cliff cornices buzzards make their nests among rocks this means that there are no free plots of land and the birds occupied the entire island. just would

like to spend more toys and research but. it is a very cold place to get a previous expedition into haiti. and have to return to magadan with no results destroying what was on the soil of the scientists everybody works together. and it's not it's not difficult it's not like. historic sea 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 the 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 for additional russian borscht. puts potatoes on the boil for ten minutes then add ten just to. the expedition members alone the last night for the ship and it is on fears 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 researcher and a cook meanwhile a captain's mate sets of course back to magadan a humpback whale again appears on the horizon just like during the voyage to the m.c.r. islands the expedition to the megatons to nature reserve is nearing its end it has covered more than a thousand kilometers in ten days and collected a wealth of material for the study. the team's mission is complete.

that the.
