Photo essay
Fieldwork, at a distance
Most of the photographs in this issue were made with long lenses from vehicles or hides. Nothing here was baited, and no animal was approached on foot. The distance is not a limitation; it is the condition that makes the behaviour worth watching.

Editor's note
“The animals in this issue are not symbols. They are neighbours with schedules, and the reporting only works if we keep showing up at the hours they keep.”
