Waking up at 4am to reach remote locations before sunrise may not be your idea of fun, but for local wildlife photographer Kester Clarke, it’s a great way to spend your weekends.
Kester began photographing wildlife three years ago, out of a desire to share his observations and experiences with wild animals in their natural habitats. It often revisits the same areas to improve its chances of documenting rare or hard-to-find species, but does not neglect the more common topics typically found in Georgetown and the coasts.

The sprawling savannahs near Karanambu Ranch in North Rupununi should be large enough to satisfy the daily appetite of this Anteater Giant for 35,000 ants and termites. Digging with giant claws that can kill a jaguar, and flipping his 18-inch tongue into holes 160 times a minute, the giant anteater has been perfecting his foraging skills for 30 million years.

Owls spend most of their time on the ground, but this adult male demands attention when flying over open grasslands near Kuru Kururu village off the Linden / Soesdyke Highway. At only 8oz and 9 inches tall, they are among the smallest owls in the world. (Photo by Kester Clarke)
