Discover the iconic Wild Mustangs, symbols of freedom and history. Learn about these majestic wild horses in this captivating video. #WildMustang#horse
Have you ever thought about the wild mustangs galloping across the American West? These stunning creatures are more than just beautiful; they’re a living piece of history. Brought over by Spanish explorers in the 16th century, these horses were originally domesticated in Europe. But as they roamed free, some escaped or were released, and that’s when the magic happened. They adapted to the vast plains and rugged terrain, forming herds that became a vital part of the landscape.
Native American tribes quickly recognized their value, using them for hunting, transportation, and even warfare. Imagine the power of those mustangs, running wild and free, embodying the spirit of the West! Over time, their population exploded, and today, they’re considered feral horses—descendants of those original domesticated stock, thriving in the wild. They symbolize freedom, resilience, and the untamed heart of America. Isn’t it incredible how they’ve become such an iconic part of our heritage?

Ross Birnie/BeeFly Studios has worked on a number of our Wildlife Winners & Losers Film Series films ... watch this trailer for his own upcoming film "The Battle for Middlewick Ranges".
"In Colchester, a battle is raging for one of the last great wildlife refuges in Essex. Middlewick Ranges is home to rare acid grassland—the largest in the county—as well as breeding Skylarks, Barbastelle bats, and the UK’s second-largest Nightingale population.
But now, the Ministry of Defence and developers are pushing to pave it over, risking everything these habitats support. This includes 1,500 species of invertebrates, many of which are threatened by local and national extinction.
The real story? Key ecological data, warnings from Natural England, and an essential 2017 report highlighting Middlewick’s value were withheld from councillors before a decisive vote. Reports were manipulated by commercial consultants to downgrade habitats, prioritising profit over wildlife-rich green spaces.
This isn’t just about one site; it’s a glimpse into a broken planning system where planning officers and developers ignore environmental guidelines; even legally safeguarded wildlife isn’t safe.
National organisations like Buglife, RSPB, and Essex Wildlife Trust have joined grassroots campaigners in this fight, which has now become a stand for nature across the UK.
In a time of biodiversity crisis, The Battle for Middlewick calls for action to save our wild spaces.
Will you join the fight? Watch, share and help protect the irreplaceable."

RARE WILDLIFE BEHAVIOR CAPTURED ON FILM: TUNE IN TOMORROW ON PBS 🦅 🌳 🎥
Don't miss "Raptors: A Fistful of Daggers," airing on PBS from April 10 to 17 at 8/7c. This two-part miniseries, which I participated in off-camera, showcases a fascinating array of birds of prey, including both iconic and lesser-known species. Through captivating footage, the series dives into what makes birds of prey some of the planet's most adept predators.
My favorite storyline in the series features the Secretary bird—an iconic and charismatic snake-eating bird native to South Africa. Our team had the privilege of tracking down a pair of these birds at #BabanangoGameReserve and capturing them exhibiting unique behavior that, until now, had never been filmed for a television audience.
Renowned for their snake-eating prowess, Secretary birds have a diverse diet including various species of insects, rodents, lizards, and even venomous snakes. Unlike many other raptors, Secretary birds primarily hunt on foot rather than in flight. Their diet, consisting mostly of small prey, requires them to be highly active hunters. This has led to the evolution of their long legs, which they use to efficiently navigate grasslands and flush out hidden prey before delivering forceful kicks to incapacitate their prey before consuming it whole.
Despite their effectiveness as hunting tools, their heavy legs are not well-suited for flight. To compensate, Secretary birds have evolved a large wingspan akin to a vulture's, enabling them to climb thermal vents and soar across large expanses of arid savannah between hunting grounds.
However, their large wingspan does not lend to the agile flight required to navigate through tight spaces in tree canopies. Therefore, Secretary birds have adapted to nesting atop trees, often choosing trees with umbrella canopies just a few meters above the ground for ease of access. The downside is that during the hot breeding season, their nests, and in turn, their chick are exposed to the harsh African sun, posing a challenge for the parents to keep their offspring hydrated.
Unlike many other birds of prey that obtain water from the blood of their prey, Secretary birds have developed a unique behavior to address this challenge - and you can see it as well as a ton of other jaw-dropping footage on PBS tomorrow night! Keep an eye out for my name in the credits!! 😎
