Photograph taken at 11:34am on Monday 3rd March 2025 at an altitude of Forty seven metres in the Grounds of Warnham Nature Reserve in Horsham, West Sussex. The Millpond dates back to the 16th Century and parts of the woodland dates back even further to the 13th Century. A beautiful location for a walk, or to sit amongst nature and so see birds and butterflies in their natural habitat.

Here we see a Eurasian nuthatch or wood nuthatch (Sitta europaea), a small passerine bird found throughout the Palearctic and in Europe. First described in 1758, this is part of a family of similar looking Nuthatch species and is a small bird with short tail and wings and long pointed bill.

See a video here on my WDMyCloud home.mycloud.com/action/share/2f0dd993-0235-4bdc-b5ae-29a...

But the Browser wont bloody play a WMV codec file!

AND it is 850Mb to download!! Not the CODEC! Thee Video, which is unclear from the MyCloud message!

This was the largest file as a 115Mb 1280x720 MOV file, 46sec, then converted to a 13Mb MP4 file, which you see here, using Play Memories Home, by Sony..

now part of the combined 871Mb movie on the WD MyCloud drive.. @

Made using Window Live Movie Maker from the MOV file, which better preserves the resolution.

In fact this is almost usual station locomotive. There was the international division of a labor in Communist block. And Czech built ChKD Praha of 3o-3o

(or Co-Co) layout Diesel locomotive has been chosen as standard station/shunting locomotive for Soviet Railroads and for other Communist countries. In Soviet Union it was named ChME-3 (Czech-built, station, with electric transmission). It has recommended itself from the best side and circa 7500 pieces have been built. It was best Czechs' business for all their history. And now ChME-3 are carrying almost all station works in all post-Soviet countries, also being frequentely used in suburban traffic.

But this piece is unique simulteniously being 'named' locomotive. Named locomotives are not rare all over the world. But in this special case term 'named' means that this is a kind of award or moral stimulation. This practice is still kept since 1920 when for some locomotives names of war and revolution heroes have been given. Such 'named' locomotives were credited for best crews for combat heroism and labour achievements - as a sort of award, apart of honor badges, medals, etc. It was considered as a great honor for locomotives. But nobless obligee! And locomotive staff (or 'brigade' as it is called here) had to keep such locomotive in excellent technical state. And also to fulfil combat or labour feats equal to those of a hero to give his name.

Locomotive brigades were usually 'attached' to the one and the same locomotive for years and decades. It became a real second house for a staff. Therefore locomotives were beloved and pampered by crew. Locomotive shining by fresh painting and polished brass details was the subject of pride of a staff - it belongs to railroaders 'Codecs of honor'. At the steam age such cases were often when locomotive staff was unsatisfied by standard paint given by a railroad. And a crew bought some 'special' paint from it's personal funds.

We may see from these shots that nothing changed at this branch despite the change of political system. And 'named' locomotives tradition is kept almost a century.

And this locomotive is named in honor of N.E. Kalinichenko, the full Knight of Soldier fame order, receiving during the WWII the stars of all three degreess. Apropos the Soldier fame is rare award being given only for privates or sergeants and only for combat feats carried in specially hard and dangerous conditions. From 15 millions men and women who served in Red Army during WWII only 2656 became full Knights of this order - including four women.

This award system repeates exectly the Soldier's St Georgian Cross - the highest and most valuable soldier's award of Russian Empire. Both orders - Empire and Soviet were carried on the same insignia band with orange-n-black strips. So called Georgian or Guardian colors. It's well depicted on shields on both sides of locomotive.

Photograph taken at an altitude of One hundred and twelve metres at 12:28pm on Thursday 25th May 2023 off Keating cross and Benvenuto Avenue at the Butterfly gardens in Victoria, located in Brentwood Bay, British Columbia.

This is Mango, who is forty five years old now, a beautiful bird that I have visited for over 27 years on my trips here (Since it was located at the Crystal Gardens in Victoria back in the day). The American flamingo (Phoenicopterus ruber) is the only flamingo which naturally inhabits North America, and is also known as the Caribbean flamingo. They can reach up to 83 years old in captivity!

Photograph taken at an altitude of Sixty eight metres at 13:41pm on Thursday 25th May off Keating Cros Road and Benvenuto Avenue at Victoria Butterfly Gardens in Brentwood Bay on Vancouver Island in Brirish Columbia, Canada.

This is a Blue Morpho (Morpho Peleides) butterfly, one of the largest butterflies in the world with a wingspan up to eight inches. Light reflects from the microscopic scales on their wingbacks, giving a vivid iridescent appearance, and they are mainly seen active and in flight, resting only briefly. They are found in the tropical rainforests of Latin America from Mexico to Columbia.

Photograph taken at an altitude of Two metres at 21:25pm on Thursday 25th May 2023 around sunset at Patricia Bay , a body of salt water that extends East from the Saanich Inlet and forms part of the North Saanich shoreline in the District of North Saanich in British Columbia. It features a beautiful park which is at the south end of the Scoter Trail. Formerly known as Union Bay, the bay was named after Princess Patricia of Connaught, daughter of the Duke of Connaught who was Governor General in 1912.

The park has ties to transportation and the waterfront, and their pivotal role in the development of North Saanich. It is also tied to the development of the Victoria International Airport and military aviation efforts during the Second World War. In 1937, the airport was developed as one of six Royal Canadian Air Force Station training facilities on Vancouver Island.

The land was originally settled by the Tseycum First Nation (Union Bay Indian Reserve No.4) , one of four Saanich villages of Southern Vancouver Island in the area and part of the Northern Straits Coast Salish language group.

In the Sencoten langauge Tseycum is spelled Wsikem and means Land of Clay. The languages spoken include Lkwungen, Malchosen, Semiahmoo, SENĆOŦEN andT’Sou-ke and in 2023 the Chief is Tanya Jimmy, who was elected in July 2019. The Tseycum people have five reserves located at:

Bare Island 9, Goldstream 13, Pender Island 8, Saturna Island 7 and Union Bay 4.

Photograph taken at an altitude of Five metres at 07:52am on Wednesday 17th May 2023 off Lone Cone Road from the front garden of a seventy year old house I was renting in Campbell Street, Tofino in British Columbia in Canada.

Eastern Raccoons (Procyon lotor) are native to the southern BC mainland, one of many different sub species of Raccoon, but are an introduced invasive species on Haida Gwaii. They were introduced in the 1940s to enhance the local fur trade, but they represent a significant threat to ground-nesting marine birds. My family refer to them as 'Trash Panda's', but I love them. They are also known as Racoons, Coons or Common Racoons

Here we look past the island of Clayoquot towards Vargas Island.

I was renting a fabulous seventy year old private house in Campbell Street, Tofino, and went for a drive and stroll that evening as the sun fell in the sky.

As promised, the "long photo" version of the previous photos.

This is 328 frames with a 5-minute interval between shots, taken over a period of about 27 hours.

There's a flash of light about halfway through: My room faces east, and I'm in a canyon. I get about 30 minutes of direct sunlight in the morning after the sun clears the canyon on the east side and before it goes above the eaves (forgot to close the shades before I left for work). It was otherwise lit with 2 color-correct studio lights with umbrellas.

I've been having a devil of a time figuring out which video codecs work with flickr (this is the fifth time I've tried to upload this). I think I've got it sorted now.

A shame I can't post the full-resolution version of this (it's really stunning), but it's about twice the size that flickr allows.

Photograph taken at an altitude of Six metres (Sea level) at 19:40pm on Wednesday 17th May 2023 looking towards an eagles nest on unnamed and uninhabited by mankind wilderness, some distance from Dawley Passage Provincial Park and Meares Island in the Alberni-Clayoquot region of British Columbia in Canada.

The Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus Leucocephalus), derives it's name from the Greek for 'Sea eagle', and the 'bald' denotation actually derives from an older meaning of 'white headed'.

Bald Eagles can be up to forty inches in length with a wingspan up to seven and a half feet and can wigh up to 6.3kgs. The females are generally 25% larger than the males.

I was stationed in a seventy year old house I was renting in Campbell Street, Tofino in British Columbia in Canada and booked a place on a twenty three feet long Zodiac inflatable in full life saving gear with Remote Passages Marine Excursions at 51 Wharf Street in Tofino.

Im Internet diskutieren sie ja wie die Kesselflicker die Systemfrage aus, nämlich welche(r) Hersteller überhaupt oder nur in Frage kommt(/-en), ob es ohne FF einfach mal gar nicht geht oder ob man sogar mit m4/3 sehr gute Ergebnisse hinkommen kann und ob man überhaupt nur bei abnehmendem Vollmond und mit Zustimmung des Medizinmannes fotografieren darf. Ich hatte phasenweise und aus Lust an der Freude oder aus Langeweile bzw. Frustration sehr leidenschaftlich und provokativ den Canon-Antagonisten-Troll gegeben und tue es im Grunde noch heute. Ich reduziere mich dabei gar nicht mal zum Sony-Fanboy, nicht nur weil mich da auch einiges stört, sondern weil ich meine, dass in Abhängigkeit des fotografischen Ziels und unter Berücksichtung des Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnisses nicht nur Nikon, sondern vor allem auch Pentax und Fuji mit sehr überzeugenden Produkten, ziemlich sahnig aufgestellt sind. Pana und Oly hab ich nicht auf dem Schirm, aber für die mag das natürlich auch gelten.

Ich wollte und will einfach ein gleichermaßen polemisches und ätzendes Gegengewicht zum lange Zeit erdrückend und zu selbstgerecht gewesen seienden Narrativ der Anhänger des Marktführers repräsentieren, weil gerade nicht nur 'Colours', Linsenauswahl, 'Menues' und Service valide Argumente sein dürfen, Argumente die - nur am Rande bemerkt - eh sehr oft jeden Gegenstandes entbehren oder schlicht vernachlässigbar sind und z.T. sogar den Vergleich bzw. die Überprüfung scheuen sollten, wie der Teufel das Weihwasser scheut.

Darüber war ich als Hobbyfotograf immer über die Dysstandpunkte mancher Disputanten im Netz erbost. Was interessiert es die Leute, die - beruflich oder privat - eh nicht mit f2,8er Ofenrohren hinter weit entfernten Dämmerungstieren, scheuen Promis oder schnellen Sportlern her schießen werden, ob ihr Hersteller die entspr. kleinwagenteuren, -großen und -schweren Linsen vorhält oder eben nicht? Nach der Logik könne man keinen 'kleinen', Vierzylinder, Mittelklasse BMW fahren, weil Walter Röhrl nun mal mit einem S1 den Pikes Peak rauf ist, den es doch nur bei Audi gab, oder weil nur Mercedes ein sehr komfortables oder sicheres Gimmick für die S-Klasse anbietet, das BMW für seinen - eh uninteressanten, weil weit außerhalb des möglichen Preisfensters liegenden - Siebener gar nicht listet.

Noch mehr als die Dysstandpunkte, hat mich aber die selektive Ausblendung von wirklich vitalen und kritischen Qualitäten aufgeregt. Wenn ein Hersteller nicht gut in Basis-Dynamik ist, wovon man nachts in der Stadt oder an sonnigen Tagen im Wald eben nie genug kriegen kann, dann hatte das auf Marktführerseite einfach nicht wichtig zu sein, dann zählte eben nur die High-ISO-Performance, was unter Hobby-, Landschafts- und touristischen Fotografen ja - wie einen Absatz weiter oben erwähnt - von aller kritischster Bedeutung ist. Und ein Schwenkmonitor, der kann doch auch nur kaputt gehen, also wozu den Murks. Die Postproductiongängigkeit aber, für mich als Rohdaten-Tratzer unter anderem DAS wichtigste Qualitätskriterium überhaupt, kam sehr spät und auch erst mit dem ISO-Invariance-Tool und den entspr. Vergleichstests der DPReview-Redaktion auf den Schirm der jew. Fangemeinden. Die eine hatten dieses Attribut eh selbstverständlich an- und hingenommen gehabt, während die anderen einfach jahrelang, unter der Ignoranzglocke des Primates ihres Markenkultes, keine Ahnung hatten, dass Belichtungsreihen und /oder Verlaufsfilter für die einen, auch in dynamisch anspruchsvollen Landschaftssituationen, schon seit mindestens einer Kamerageneration Anachronismen waren.

Da gab es dann siebengescheite, promovierte Hufschmiede, die sich auf ihrer Homepage halbe Doktorarbeiten aus dem Ärmel schüttelten, in denen sie das rhetorische und technische Kunststück vollbrachten, auf dem Boden eines peinlichen, von Vermutungen und den üblichen Nachplappereien geflickten Halbwissens, zwar eine halbe Seite lang zähneknirschend die Vorteile iso-invarianter Sensoren und ihrer Reserven für den Workflow (Post-, aber natürlich nicht 'Production' selbst, also mit einer limitierten Menge Licht, resp. Zeit, resp. Belichtungen bald doppelt soviel an Dynamik, also aufbereitbarer Information aus dem Sensor heraus bzw. in die Rohdatei(ein) hinein zu holen) anzuschneiden und runterzumurmeln, aber nur, um dann weitere 17 Seiten lang die Bedeutung dieses revolutionären Qualitätskriteriums für viele Bereiche der Fotografie gleich wieder zu relativieren. Wir sind ja eh alle nur Hochzeit oder so und da hat Canon einfach den besseren Spritzwasserschutz, wegen dem Sekt oder weil der Bräutigam zu früh kommt, oder so eben!

Darüber kollidieren bei Streits oder Fanboyismen im Netz die eigenen Argumente, die persönlichen fotografischen Bedürfnisse und die entspr. Standpunkte schon mal kognitiv dissonant miteinander, widersprechen sich bzw. kürzen sich aus oder besonders witzig, sie verzerren und verwaschen sich mit der Zeit, entspr. der herrschenden, ideologischen Großwettelage im eigenen Hause gegeneinander. Manch ein FF-Apologet aus der alten Mk-II und MK-III Schule/Ära will heute eh nicht mehr filmen oder überhaupt je gefilmt haben, obwohl er gerade dieses Argument seinerzeit als Rammbock gegen den anderen großen Hersteller einzusetzen wusste. So ein FF-Priester der Marktführerideologie-Kaderschmiede kann darüber durchaus selektiv ausblenden, dass der eigene Hersteller in den Sensor-Nettoleistungen, zumindest in der bezahlbaren Mittel-/Ambitionieren-/Berufsfotografenklasse- und bei den interessanteren Brot&Butter Modellen (wären sie nicht zu allem Übel auch noch künstlich im Funktionsumfang beschnitten) einen ganzen Lichtwert bzw. mindestens anderthalb Generationen oder eben tatsächlich schon eine ganze Sensorformatklasse hinter dem Wettbewerb her hinkt, was vl. am nackten, akademischen Signalrauschabstand nicht ganz so offensichtlich zu Tage tritt, was sich aber schon dergestalt auffällig zeigt, dass ein kleinerer Newcomer (oder nur der alte Hauptfeind) mit Cropsensoren und weniger Megapixeln auf vergleichbar detaillierte und feine Nettoauflösungen, Details und Zeilenpaare kommt, wie das - angeblich immer das Tempo unter den Papiertaschentüchern, die Nutella unter den Nussnougatcremes, die Pampers und den Windeln gewesen seiende - FF-Flaggschiff, mit seinen brutto immerhin sechs Millionen Bildpunkten mehr, Pixel, die schlicht in hoher Defektdichte oder schlechter Bildprozessierung regelrecht zu verrau(s)chen scheinen. Überhaupt scheint der Texas-Instruments Bastard mit seinen Hartplasikbatzen mit großen Informationsmengen resp. Auflösungen, Seriebbildraten oder Codes nicht so gut umgehen zu können. Ein schwacher Opel nur, der sich wie ein besser motorisierter Benz feiern und bezahlen ließ.

Eine sich selbst verstärkende Ressonanzkatastrophe oder eine ideologische bzw. quasireligiöse Runawaysituation, etwa dass unzeitgemäßes, langsames, an mangelnden Funktionen und überholter Sensortechnologie krankendes Gerät wie die sittenwidrig überteuerte 5 Douche Reihe es zur begehrtesten Referenzkamera schaffen kann, ist eine schlichte Funktion der Massenhysterie, des Fankultes, des Marketings, korrupter bzw. feiger oder unqualifizierter JPG-Only Redaktionen und der Psychologie, mal abgesehen vom Trägheitsmoment noch vorhandener, aber oft eh veralteter und deswegen zumindest anteilig matschiger Linsenparks, die den Hersteller vielleicht noch fort tragen, oder schlimmer, über die er seine Opfer glaubt erpressen zu können. Das ist ein bisschen wie mit Apple (Wo sich im Falle eines nötigen Batteriewechsels oder einer ersehnten Speichererweiterung der ein oder andere schon mal ins Knie biss) oder anderen, gemessen am lächerlichen Mehrpreis und den Folgekosten oder Beschränkungen, eigentlich gar nicht konkurrenzfähigen Modemarken. Dafür liefern Kleidungslabels ein viel besseres Beispiel als Technik, welche ja mit objektivierbaren und dämpfenden, weil kaum zu schönenden Kennzahlen (u.a. DXO) leben muss. Man zahlt im Feld aber trotzdem nicht nur bei Kleidung freiwillig die Deppensteuer viel zu gerne (um dann auch noch als lebende Werbetafel für Ralph Lauren, für North Face, für Lacoste und andere herumzulaufen, obwohl es doch genau anders herum sein müsste). Nur wenn etwas richtig teuer ist, ganz gleich ob die Qualität und der Funktionsumfang den Mehrpreis überhaupt rechtfertigen, kann es auch gut sein und dann will man auch damit gesehen und als ein entspr. materieller Gewinner gehandelt werden. Das gilt dann auch für Technik und das ist nur eine Facette der psychologischen Krux, die durch eine mögliche Scham, vielleicht am Ende richtig verarscht worden zu sein (vgl. iPhone/iPod), auch gar nicht kurierbar ist. Viel schlimmer wiegt nämlich - und das wurde in Forschungsreihen verschiedener Disziplinen (Soziologie, Psychologie, Kognitionsforschung, Politikwissenschaften, Kommunikationswissenschaften etc. pp.) immer wieder unabhängig voneinander herausgefunden - wenn sich im Netz und auch sonst (Politik, Hochschule, Wirtschaft), eine Meinung ungeachtet ihres Wahrheitsgehaltes nur oft und lange genug ausdauernd wiederholt, dann wird sie irgendwann schließlich geglaubt und dann ist auch nix mehr mit Scham. Letzteres ist wohl der eigentliche Grund für Canons Marktführerschaft und den Apple-Hype. Mode-Jpg-Colours oder unaufgeräumte, unstrukturierte, ja willkürliche, jeder Logik entbehrende, aber ach so viel intuitivere und angeblich überlegenere Canonmenüs, mit denen wirklich kein Fremdshooter von Sony/Nikon/Fuji auf Anhieb zurecht käme, sind dann bestenfalls Rechtfertigungen, die ebenfalls dank der netzaktiven Wiederholung und Verstärkung einfach zu echten Dogmen und hinzunehmenden Wahrheiten werden, genau wie ihre entspr. Umkehrung, etwa dass Sony Menüs oder EVF einfach mal gar nicht gingen. Natürlich nicht, wenn man sich über viele Jahre an was anderes gewöhnt hat und sich ziert.

Am Schluss dieser meist kindischen, aber spaßigen und energetisierenden Auseinandersetzungen einigt man sich dann vernünftigerweise doch darauf, dass eh der Fotograf das Foto macht und man sogar mit kleinen Sensoren oder älterem Gerät und den Produkten eigentlich eines jeden Herstellers (außer Sony natürlich, weil Sony-Shooter fressen bekanntlich Kinder und sind sowieso kulturlose Wilde (neben der augenkrebsigen Unmöglichkeit eines revolutionär-fortschrittlichen EVF)) gut schießen könne und das stimmt ja auch. Darüber müssen Canikon Leute doch am Ende auch zusammen halten - seien die D500, die D7200er, die D750iger und die D8**er nun Kameras, die nicht nur preislich mindestens einen Kilometer vor ihren Canon Pendants herrennen (was sie tun, eigentlich sind es sogar zwei Kilometer), oder eben nicht - wo nun auch noch Fuji in den Markt drängt und Pentax mit seinen Kampfpreisen in Relation zu den gebotenen 1A-Referenz-Bildqualitäten und seinen interessanten Innovationen wie Pixelshift die Platzhirsche und Dinos wirklich beschämen kann. Viele Dinge sind aber tatsächlich reine Pedanterie und irrelevante Erbsenzählerei, die im Alltag kaum Niederschlag finden sollte, obwohl es mich persönlich schon stört, dass die Postproduktion(in)toleranz/ -gängigkeit uva. die Hotpixelanfälligkeit in Relation zur Belichtungszeit so gar keinen Eingang in die, ansonsten durchaus objektivierbaren DXO-Charts findet. Danach würde der Marktführer zwar nochmal schlechter abschneiden, als er es eh schon tut, aber auch das würde die netzaktive, nach wie vor bestehende Übermacht seiner Fans nicht dran hindern, hinter dem Sensormarktführer herzutreten, weil dessen Bodies beim Filmen in UHD überhitzen, etwas das - genau wie ein Readout über die ganze Sensordiagonale, sowie ein angemessener, zeitgemäßer Codec - dort zumindest schon mal möglich ist, wenn auch nur minutenweise.

Bei der Wahl und der Notwendigkeit bestimmter Objektivklassen kann den Streit um das Für und Wider und die Notwendigkeit oder Unsinnigkeit natürlich nochmal und oft viel heftiger an ganz anderer Front aufflackern lassen und da haben Fussballplatz-Ronny, Hochzeits-Horst, Alpenglüh-Fonsi bzw. Arktis-Sven natürlich jeweils ganz eigene Standpunkte. Da war ich dann immer entspannt und bin es noch heute, weil ich mir keinen professionellen Linsenpark aus zeitgemäßen und schnellen Festbrennweiten leisten kann, weil Sigma darüber eh oft schönere und preiswertere Töchter als die Kamerahersteller selbst hat und weil sich in meinem Interessen- und Preisbereich (eben die üblichen f4-langsamen, aber tragbaren Brot&Butter Zooms: UWW-Zoom, Immerdrauf und Tele-Zoom) das Argument "Jibet keine Linsen für" unlängst qualitativ genau ins Gegenteil verkehrt hat (zumindest seit Erscheinen der ersehnten FE 24-105er und 70-200er) und der Marktführer auch da, also nicht nur im Funktionsumfang, der Preisleistung, bei den Sensoren und eben den kürzeren und mittleren Festbrennweiten, mittlerweile mess- und merkbar abgehängt ist. Natürlich kann man sich hier wie da mit superschnellen 50/85/135er Linsen den theoretisch möglichen Sensorpixeln nicht nur nähern, sondern diese sogar erreichen. Tatsächlich können sogar meine alten Rokkors in ihrem Zentrum einen wesentlich dichter gepackten APS-C Sensor noch ausnutzen und sogar herausfordern. Aber sonst dürfte bei diesen wohl meist in der Portrait-, Mode- (also Werbe-) und Peoplefotografie eingesetzten, superschnellen ~85iger +/- Linsen eh mehr das Bokeh und damit der cremige Bildeindruck einer weit offenen Blende mehr zählen, als das Pixelpeeping bis ins Eck hinein. Wenn man wie ich, als Landschafts- und Architekturfutzi und -autist, eh auf das Stilmittel der gezielt eingesetzten Unschärfe/Bokeh verzichtet, dann kann man ob der verwendeten, förderlichen Blendenzahlen gleich das Zoom drauf lassen, immerdrauf eben. Ob man dafür dann allerdings einen so hoch auflösenden Sensor bräuchte oder ob dann nicht doch und auch sonst 24MP in die Haut rein reichen würden, das ist ein weiterer Streitpunkt.

Photograph taken at 10.19am on Wednesday 10th April 2024 at an altitude of Forty nine metres in the Grounds of Warnham Nature Reserve in Horsham, West Sussex.

Here we see a pair of Mallard Ducklings which are often hatched between March and July. Mallards are dabbling ducks which breed all over temperate and sub tropical Americas, Eurasia and North Africa as well as New Zealand and a host of other territories. Belonging to the waterfowl family, the males or drakes are particularly beautiful with glossy green heads and bright yellow beaks.

Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus Leucocephalus), derives it's name from the Greek for 'Sea eagle', and the 'bald' denotation actually derives from an older meaning of 'white headed'.Bald Eagles can be up to forty inches in length with a wingspan up to seven and a half feet and can weigh up to 6.3kgs. The females are generally 25% larger than the males.

Photograph taken at 11:24am on Wednesday 10th April 2024 at an altitude of Forty eight metres in the Grounds of Warnham Nature Reserve in Horsham, West Sussex.

Here we see a solitary Greylag Goose (Anser anser), which when fully adult can measure up to three feet in length and weigh 3.3kgs. European and Asian birds migrate Southwards to warmer climates in the winter, and it's ancestors were domesticated as early as the fourteenth century BC.

Photograph taken at an altitude of One metres at 21:12pm on Thursday 25th May 2023 around sunset at Patricia Bay , a body of salt water that extends East from the Saanich Inlet and forms part of the North Saanich shoreline in the District of North Saanich in British Columbia. It features a beautiful park which is at the south end of the Scoter Trail. Formerly known as Union Bay, the bay was named after Princess Patricia of Connaught, daughter of the Duke of Connaught who was Governor General in 1912.

The park has ties to transportation and the waterfront, and their pivotal role in the development of North Saanich. It is also tied to the development of the Victoria International Airport and military aviation efforts during the Second World War. In 1937, the airport was developed as one of six Royal Canadian Air Force Station training facilities on Vancouver Island.

The land was originally settled by the Tseycum First Nation (Union Bay Indian Reserve No.4) , one of four Saanich villages of Southern Vancouver Island in the area and part of the Northern Straits Coast Salish language group.

In the Sencoten langauge Tseycum is spelled Wsikem and means Land of Clay. The languages spoken include Lkwungen, Malchosen, Semiahmoo, SENĆOŦEN andT’Sou-ke and in 2023 the Chief is Tanya Jimmy, who was elected in July 2019. The Tseycum people have five reserves located at:

Bare Island 9, Goldstream 13, Pender Island 8, Saturna Island 7 and Union Bay 4.

Photograph taken at an altitude of Two metres at 07:50am on Wednesday 17th May 2023 off Lone Cone Road from the front garden of a seventy year old house I was renting in Campbell Street, Tofino in British Columbia in Canada.

Eastern Raccoons (Procyon lotor) are native to the southern BC mainland, one of many different sub species of Raccoon, but are an introduced invasive species on Haida Gwaii. They were introduced in the 1940s to enhance the local fur trade, but they represent a significant threat to ground-nesting marine birds. My family refer to them as 'Trash Panda's', but I love them. They are also known as Racoons, Coons or Common Racoons

Photograph taken at an altitude of Eighty metres at 13:06pm on Thursday 25th May 2023 off Keating cross and Benvenuto Avenue at the Butterfly gardens in Victoria, located in Brentwood Bay, British Columbia.

This is Mango, who is forty five years old now, a beautiful bird that I have visited for over 27 years on my trips here (Since it was located at the Crystal Gardens in Victoria back in the day). The American flamingo (Phoenicopterus ruber) is the only flamingo which naturally inhabits North America, and is also known as the Caribbean flamingo. They can reach up to 83 years old in captivity!

Photograph taken at an altitude of One metres at 08:43am on Monday 8th May 2023 off Vancouver Street and Cleveland Avenue, standing in front of Howe Sound Inn & Brewing where I was staying for one night in Squamish, British Columbia in Canada.

Here we look across to part of Siy̓ám̓ Smánit as the Squamish First nations originally referred to it. Legend says it is a longhouse transformed to stone by Xáays, as the Transformer Brothers are known in this language. The great cleft in the mountain's cliff-face in Squamish legend is a mark of corrosion left by the skin of Sínulhka, a giant two-headed sea serpent. In Western culture we know it as Stawamus Chief Mountain, also known as Stawamus Chief, The Chief or Squamish Chief. It is a granitic dome towering over 700 metres above the waters of Howe Sound, and one of the largest granite monoliths in the world.

Photograph taken at an altitude of Two metres at 11:23am on Monday 8th May 2023 off Sea to sky highway 99 in Porteau Cove Marine Park in Porteau British Columbia, overlooking Howe Sound stretch of water.

Steller sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus), seen resting here are sadly an endangered species nowadays, predominantly found in the coastal marine habitats of the northeast Pacific Ocean and the Pacific Northwest regions of North America, from north-central California to Oregon, Washington and British Columbia to Alaska. Males can reach 3.25 metres in length (10.7 feet) and weigh up to 1,120kg (2,470 ibs).

The Canon EOS R5 is Canon's most advanced, complete camera in a long, long time. It has a few flaws (most notably a tendency to overheat when shooting the most demanding video codecs), but it has a very long list of virtues, including high resolution (45Mpx), great high ISO performance and dynamic range, fast burst rates (12 FPS mechanical and 20 FPS Electronic), deep buffers, great IBIS (sensor stabilization), and a truly awesome focus system. Add an amazing amount of video options and great ergonomics, and this is a camera that I simply love using. Bottom line: I bought one. Here's my review coverage:
