Show Notes
Many of us dream of close encounters with wild animals, but Bertie Gregory has made this a reality through his stunning films for National Geographic.
As well as winning a stack of awards for his photography and filmmaking, Bertie is a National Geographic Explorer – which, as we discovered, is as cool as it sounds.
Bertie is passionate about sharing his love of nature, as we found out when we caught up with him ahead of his latest movie – Dolphins Up Close, which is available to watch now on Disney+
