Andy Rouse videos

[steve2005]

I attended the Birdfair last weekend at Rutland Water and Andy Rouse was present - one of the world's greatest wildlife photographers.

I had a very pleasant chat with him and asked where I could get hold of the TV series he did for Channel 5 on DVD/Video. The series was about how gets his amazing shots of bears, elephants, crocodile, eagles, etc. He told me that the series has not been distributed by Channel 5 or the production company and advised me to try and get a video copy via the internet blog sites, etc.

I pointed out that if I did he wouldn't get any royalties at which point he told me he didn't care (my words NOT his!!) He felt rather let down to put it mildly.

So my question is has anyone got the series?

He then gave a really good talk and slideshow for about 30mins to a small but entralled audience about his exploits. One of the best 30mins I've had in years, truly excellent, especially his exploits with a Capercaille where he ended up with two dislocated fingers. Wonderful.

I could not really manage the bird fair this year so I am jealous as I met him last year and he was very good and approachable.
