A VET from Broughton who wrote a book detailing his years working overseas has released some of his best snaps from his time abroad.

Jonathan Hollins has been a senior veterinary surgeon for over 40 years and since the mid-2000s has worked in the British Overseas Territories of the South Atlantic.

The 66-year-old has a home in St Helena where he has helped to look after a variety of land and sea animals, including the world's oldest living land animal, Jonathan the Giant Tortoise, who is thought to have hatched in 1832 making him nearly 190-years-old.

Jonathan, who was the first stationed vet from the UK in the South Atlantic, said his journeys and tales over the past two decades had been 'fascinating', starting at the Falkland Islands before moving on to St Helena, Ascension Island, George Island and Tristan De Cunha.

His travels led him to treat a wide variety of animals, with different needs, cultures and lifestyles on individual islands keeping Jonathan on his toes.

Now Jonathan has written a book, Vet at the End of the Earth, about his experiences, which has been published by Duckworth Books.
