Phil Perry Wildlife Photography
Welcome/Bem vindo to Phil Perry's Wildlife Photography website.
I am a wildlife photographer based in Portugal and Swaziland, southern Africa.
I will be setting up galleries of wildlife photographs taken on my many safaris through Africa (South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia) as well as photos taken in various parts of Europe, especially southern Portugal. Wildlife from other parts of the world will also feature as I venture further afield (India, Seychelles, etc). For a number of years I specialised in photographing Leopards - hence the website name. I was fortunate to be able to follow several leopards in Sabi Sands for about 4 years - watching them hunting, mating, cubs growing up and having their own cubs.
Eventually I hope to add text elements in Portuguese. Initially this will be limited to species names. The aim of the site is to promote wildlife conservation through wildlife photography - especially in Africa and Portugal. I will be promoting interest in the wildlife of Portugal. To this end I will set up wildlife photo galleries and will be adding species checklists in English and Portuguese. I will be happy to set up links to websites that promotes Eco-Tourism, wildlife conservation or wildlife photography in Portugal, Africa or other parts of the world.
What's New : The Species List page has now been updated with a complete lists of the Butterflies (Borboletas) of Portugal. Unfortunately this list does not yet include the Portuguese names - only Engligh and Scientific names. If anyone can email any of the Portguese Butterfly names to me I would be very grateful.

Added Value for Eco-Tourism : Wildlife Photography Hides/Blinds. I am convinced that many eco-tourist enterprises can add significantly to their income by building well positioned, well designed photographic hides/blinds. Wildlife photographers will be more than willing to pay for the use of hides that promise reliable, excellent views and photography opportunities of interesting species. To encourage this I have set up a section on this website (Hides and Blinds) giving more information on the subject. Long-term I hope to be able to create a database of hide designs and details of the locations of good photography hides.
November 2009: One of my photographs has just been Highly Honored in the Landscape Category in the 2009 Nature's Best Photography Windland Smith Rice International Awards and will be featured in Nature's Best's high definition video displayed within the exhibition area from November 12th to May 3rd, 2010 at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in Washington, DC. Only 48 photographs are featured in this exhibit. This display features just 48 photographs of the more than 25,000 pictures entered. My photo was taken at Malolotja Nature Reserve in Swaziland and shows a group of Blesbok silhouetted against a mountain backdrop that includes Emlembe, the highest point in Swaziland.
