Mt Elgon, an extinct volcano straddling the Kenya/Uganda border, is home to a unique population of elephants. Consuming a montane vegetation made low in minerals by the leaching effect of heavy rainfall, elephants travel upto150m into the mountain to “mine” the mineral rich volcanic rock. The talk will also explore the wider natural and cultural history of the the mountain and the fascinating theories as to how the caves might have been formed.
Views: 1002 | Enquiries: 1Formerly a vet, I changed career to pursue a lifelong passion for wildlife, wildlife photography, filming and conservation. My material has made several TV appearances. I have a keen interest in photographing and filming challenging wildlife subjects, many of which are in and close to my home. My special interests are otters, tawny owls, hedgehogs, hornets and conservation generally. The talks that I give are informative but light-hearted and are lavishly illustrated with some remarkable photographic images and film sequences. I am based near Tiverton in Mid Devon.
