I had the opportunity to go out and do a bit of birdwatching on Weds (Its not all play I had been working in the garden in the morning). There are two areas I regularly visit and both were very productive. I was fortunate to encounter Black, White-winged, Whiskered and obviously a Caspian Tern throughout the day. The Black Tern is classified as uncommon here in SK all the others are rare visitors. I have been very lucky with Caspian Tern already, observing this species on a number of occasions since moving here. I was really pleased that I managed to get some reasonable photo's. I have adjusted these images a little on the computer and all are well cropped. It was a great day out :)

Caspian: A Lesson In Anonymity
The lighting set up inside The Triple (a bar) consisted of three overhead lights dimmed to about 50% brightness - giving off about as much light as the lamp on the table next to my couch. So I set my ISO at 1200 and did what I could. I'm really impressed at some of the shots I was able to pull off, even with shooting at 1/4 or 1/6 of a second for some. The three lights mostly lit up the drum kit, leaving the three guitarists and one bassist of Caspian, dimly backlit with dark faces. I enjoy the way the shots came out under the circumstances. Though the amount of grain in these shots is pretty aggravating.
Oh, and listen to Caspian. Seriously. They're mind altering.
There was a high tide and weather threatening and these fellows landed nearby ! :) Albany, Western Australia,

The Caspian Tern (Hydroprogne caspia, formerly Sterna caspia;[1] syn. Hydroprogne tschegrava) is a species of tern, with a subcosmopolitan but scattered distribution.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Caspian Tern pair photographed at Hamlin Beach State Park in Monroe County, New York on April 19, 2012. These are two of thirteen Caspian Terns that were present. I photographed one Caspian Tern (not in this photo) that had a silver band on the left leg, but no color band.

The Caspian tern is a large distinctive gull-like tern of shallow coastal waters and, particularly outside of the breeding season, inland lakes and rivers throughout New Zealand. It is an attractive sleek species whose guttural call is often heard before the bird is seen.
This is Caspian, our new sweet little (noisy) kitty cat. We adopted him almost a month ago from Brooklyn animal action (a "New Hope" partner with animal care and control)
He's one year old, likes to play and "talk" and go for long meandering strolls outside on his leash.
