Ontario, late August 09.

  

   I thought leaving everything unidentified would keep one of you busy for ten minutes.

where on earth

If I told you this was on the beach at S.Landing, I'd be fibbing !

By way of an apology...

                      "Ok, this is not what it looks like. Or... maybe it is. I'm eating shit."

                                        "So I have a problem!"

I've finally gotten some editing done and will start with the stuff in September from Westport and Honey Harbor, over the next couple of days. Sorry for such a  poor show.

distant memories to warm our hearts.

Hawfinch

Indigo Bunting

Images of 3 birds from the distant past to keep us going on this cold winters night. I'll dig out more as the weather becomes more depressing. mike.

Well done with the Cetti's. There's sod all to see up here so i'm whiling the best years of my life away taking snaps of bloody black-headed gulls out of the bedroom window.......never mind eh!

Prodigal #1 returns

James Michael you are not alone, and jolly well done for feeding and mucking out our little corner of the 'tinterweb in our inexplicable absence. Rest assured such duties are now once again a shared experience.

A few random highlights from recent escapades in pursuit of an autumn that just wouldn't play nicely.


Common Buzzard over Hackney, late Oct







Tawny Pipit, Wryneck, Peregrine, Red-breasted Flycatcher - St. Agnes, Sep / Oct








Ring Ouzel, Chiffchaff, Rosy Starling, Steppe Grey Shrike, Yellow-browed Warbler - St. Agnes ('cept the Shrike, which was on St. Mary's - stupid bird)





Treecreeper and Jack Snipe, the Cape of No Hope (Oct 2009)



P.S some very lovely recent photos Mick, particularly the Yellow-brow and SEO; they almost make up for the extreme abject dullness of the moths (hur hur hur)

much much more of all the above thrills n' spills over at Northern Rustic...
