Taken in Staffordshire, my second visit for Videos, but lots of other opportunities presented so I took them.
The light was very variable as was the cloud cover as you will notice by the varying water colour

These are the last five images from my most recent drive, on 18 July 2025. Now I can get back to continuing with the photos taken on 15 July 2025, when my daughter and I visited the Coutts Centre for Western Heritage.
The day before yesterday, Friday, 18 July 2025, I decided to do a drive W and SW of Calgary. Having checked the weather forecast, there was rain for several more days after yesterday, so I wanted to get out before that happened. The other night, we had a huge thunder and lightning storm with torrential rain. The sky was lit up with almost continuous flashes of light for around an hour and a half, during the rain. I turned off my computer and TV and ended up going to bed much earlier than I normally do. Today, 20 July, has been a mix of blue sky and dark clouds.
Though I didn't see all that many birds on this drive, I was so happy to finally see two Common Loons at a location where I tend to see them. I had already driven to that spot about seven times this year and seen no Loons. Yesterday, these two birds were the far side of a huge pond and only stayed there for maybe five minutes, before taking flight and disappearing. Too far for any decent shots, but just glad that I saw them and managed to get a few very distant, zoomed and cropped, photos.
The roads travelled in the SW were all my usual roads, finding several usual birds such as a pair of Mountain Bluebirds and a few Brewer's Blackbirds. It was windy and the birds were not always in the best pose while battling to stay put. A bit closer to home, I also came across a Swainson's Hawk with its catch - maybe a Richardson's Ground Squirrel.
Few photos were taken this day, so I thought I would upload them and then get back to editing and posting images from the Coutts Centre for Western Heritage, taken on 15 July 2025. I have barely started on those photos, there was so much to see and enjoy.
Leech Lake, Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada
Three of six loons that were on Leech Lake early in the morning of the first day of summer 2016. I have some LONG shots of all six together but they are not very good. I'll try and salvage one of them. According to IBird Canada a group of loons has several names, "cry" "loomery" "raft" and water dance" but my favorite of all is "Asylum"
Immer wieder für ein Foto gut ist das klassische Marschbahn-Motiv bei Gudendorf am dortigen Kleve. Diesmal bereicherten 218 322 und 218 385 mit dem IC 2215 von Westerland (Sylt) nach Frankfurt (Main) Hbf am Haken das Motiv (Aufnahme vom Hochstativ).
Marschbahn classic
The classic Marschbahn motif at Gudendorf near the Kleve is always good for a photo. This time, 218 322 and 218 385 with the IC 2215 from Westerland (Sylt) to Frankfurt (Main) Hbf on the hook enriched the motif (photo taken from a high tripod).
Immer wieder faszinierend: Die Bregenzer Bucht
Als ob ein Meteor seine Spur in den Himmel gezeichnet hat
... and she moved deep to the end of her orbit
Always a fascinating view over
Lake Constance (Bay of Bregenz)
As if a meteor had drawn his trail into the sky
Gavia immer. As a British birder I know this bird as Great Northern Diver, a name I prefer as it sounds much grander than calling such an impressive bird a loon. However, as I took this photo in Cape May County, North America I’ve used its’ American name of Common Loon. This bird was feeding on the coast around high tide. It was the only one I saw on the trip during the second week of May. By this time most would have migrated to their breeding ground on lakes further north, mostly in Canada. It was great to see one in summer plumage as I normally only see winter plumage ones in Britain where it is a scarce winter visitor. The last bird photo I took in Britain and uploaded to Flickr was of a first winter bird in Scarborough harbour on the Yorkshire Coast in December 2025. www.flickr.com/photos/64058203@N05/54977778296/in/datepos...
Immer noch fit: Mein kürzlicher Upload dieser Maschine erfolgte vor 10 Tagen als Re 4/4 III Nr. 112 der EBT. Dieses neue Bild vom 04.11.2025 zeigt die gleiche Maschine nun 35 Jahre später. Nach vielen Wechseln des Outfits ist sie jetzt im Besitz von Widmer Rail Services WRS. Die Aufnahme zeigt die Lok vor einem Tankzug bei der Durchfahrt in ihrer alten Heimatstation Burgdorf. Die Maschine hat inzwischen 56 Jahre auf dem Buckel und ein Ruhestand ist (hoffentlich) noch nicht abzusehen….
Still going strong: I recently uploaded this locomotive 10 days ago as Re 4/4 III No. 112 of the EBT. This new image from 4 November 2025 shows the same locomotive now, 35 years later. After many changes of outfit, it is now owned by Widmer Rail Services WRS. The photo shows the locomotive in front of a tank train passing through its old home station in Burgdorf. The machine is now 56 years old and (hopefully) there are no plans for it to retire just yet...

El colimbo grande (Gavia immer) es una especie de ave gaviforme de la familia de los Gaviidae. Tiene un pico largo y afilado, y un hermoso plumaje negro y blanco.Es un pato sumamente "culebroso" y que mantiene a uno a la expectativa de la incognita. Se sambulle bajo el agua dejando solo burbujas sobre la superficie. Uno se queda esperando que salga jajajaja, pero sale a medio kilometro de distancia. Su belleza e impermeabilidad es asombrosa.Este pato es realmente una serpiente de agua y cuando se sumerge permanece hasta 10 minutos debajo del agua sin salir, y se nos secan los ojos de mirar el agua esperando que salga.
El plumaje del adulto reproductor como el ave que estoy mostrando es en "damero".
Puede verse en las costas del norte y Oeste de Europa y en Canada en la zona de los grandes lagos.
Es el ave simbolo de Ontario y aparece en la moneda Canadiense de un dolar( comunmente llamada "loonie,la gavia")
PAISAJES VS FOTOGRAFIA CONSERVACIONISTA:
Como todos saben hemos compartido con dos grandes maestros del Paisaje ( Joalhi y Carlos Molina).Asi que he bebido de forma directa de la fuente de estos grandes paisajistas!!
Luego de haber probado las mieles de las hermosas rocosas Canadienses y de Montana, no hay dudas que caia hechizado desde que veia un ave y ahi mismo abandonaba el paisaje.
Muchas veces le decia a mi hermana Joalhi..... tirame esa foto, que este pato me tiene loco y se me va a ir, mientras ese paisaje esta mas tieso que un muerto en una caja.
Aprendi mucho y recorde aquella frase de que cada quien tiene su loquito por dentro.
Aprendi que si pongo en un balanza al paisaje contra la fotografia de Naturaleza, en mi caso personal la balanza se inclinara hacia la fotografia naturalista.
El paisaje hay que desplazarse y buscarlo, muchas veces las aves son las que vienen al encuentro con nosotros.
El paisaje hay que componerlo, las aves son tan bellas que vienen compuesta de fabrica jejejeje.
El paisaje hay que ayudarlo en los colores, las aves vienen pintadas desde su nido.
Los paisajes necesitan de polarizadores y filtros, las aves no necesitan de nada!!
Los paisajes dependen mucho de la luz, las aves son luz que muchas veces adornan al paisaje.
Los paisajes ameritan ediciones especiales, las aves son tan hermosas que no necesitan de nada!!.
Los blancos se queman en las aves ( como en este caso), pero en los paisajes se arden!!!!
Los paisajes ofrecen reflejos, las aves tambien ofertan hermosos reflejos.
Los paisajes hay que esperar a que se pinten, mis aves ya estan pintadas desde que se levantan.
Los paisajes tienen cromatismo, composicion, balance y primeros planos. Las aves tienen sangre, vida, movimiento,color , expresiones diferentes y desplazamientos espontaneos llenos de gracia y hermosura!
Los paisajes son nonisimos jajaja. Que se queman las nubes, que se quema el agua, que el agua no quiere saber nada del sol, que el sol esta muy fuerte,que la luz esta dando solo en esa cara, que los colores se esfumaron,que las nubes no se pintaron y que no hay reflejos porque el agua se movio con la brisa jajajajajajajajajaja.
Los paisaje obligan a usar tripodes, niveles, filtros,intensificadores de colores, polarizadores, filtros que aquieten el agua , el diablo y su hermano jajajajajajaja y no se cuantas furundangas mas jajajajajajaja.Para las aves nada de eso que he mencionado.
Hacer buenos paisajes implica grandes sacrificios y madrugonazos cuando se trata de amaneceres y atardeceres.
Subir un paisaje es toda una ceremonia de horas, subir 15 aves como en mi caso es un paseo de minutos en picnik.
En fin son dos aspectos hermosos de la fotografia, pero a mi matenme con las plumas y que cada quien sea feliz a su manera.
Un abrazo para todos y una gran estrella para los sacrificados paisajistas que muchas veces madrugan y su exito depende de las condiciones del dia ( clima) del sol, el cielo, las nubes, los colores y no son una ni dos veces que llegan derrotados con sus pesados tripodes al hombro, como el golgota camino del calvario.

Great Northern Diver (Gavia immer) feed mainly on fish but also eat crustaceans including crabs. I‘ve seen plenty of photos of divers with crabs in their bills, usually with all the legs and pincers still attached. The photo shows the diver holding the crab by its left legs and you can see that its right legs have been removed. You can also see the notches on the front of the carapace which identify this as a Shore Crab Carcinus maenas. Shortly after I took this photo the diver held the carb under water and shook it vigorously to remove the remaining legs. Taken in Scarborough harbour, North Yorkshire.
(Gavia immer) Some more pictures from Iceland while photo opportunities are lacking at the start of 2019.
This stunning adult was feeding a single youngster next to the shore edge of Lake Myvatyn a sight that we don't get to see in the UK.
Known as the Common Loon in America
Immer einen Besuch wert ist dieses kleine, feine Museum der Völker des Fotografen, Autors und Journalisten Gert Chesi in Schwaz im Inntal.
This little unique Museum of Poeple founded by the photographer, authors and journalist Gert Chesi in Schwaz in the Inn valley is always worth a visit.
don't omit to have a look
The newly hatched Common Loons were swimming with the parents along Lakeshore for the better part of the day. The little ones were climbing onto the backs of the adults when they were tired. It was an awesome sight to witness. The Common Loon parents were so proud of their offspring, showing them off to all the photographers lining the shoreline of Gillies Lake. Located in the Gillies Lake Conservation Area in Timmins in the Township of Tisdale in the City of Timmins in Northeastern Ontario Canada.
