Whitehorse concert

 I can usually cull my shots down considerably.  Having shot this band previously, I expected not have that problem.  I got it down to 19 images.






















A lifer for me - Red Throated Loon - in non-breeding plumage

 I learned of this loner bird that was spending a long time at Pt Rowan.  During my first visit, this loon was hanging around a Common Loon.  It is considerably smaller and holds its beak upward.  On my second visit, I spent an hour with it.  After a short while, its curiosity got the better of it, swimming and feeding up close.  And yes, at this time of year, there is no red throat.











2025 Tundra Swan Migration

 It wouldn't be March without a few trips to watch the swans.  This year, I aimed for a different result.  Late afternoon sunshine and early evening moon.

Perth Precision

We had the opportunity to make photos at Perth Precision of Stratford.  I really liked the shiny and the dirty.

The Island of Sao Migel

 Mid-week, we flew north from Madeira to Sao Migel.  The capital of the Azores.  Again, an autonomous region of Portugal.  And again, we drove all over the island numerous times.  Every day we chased sunshine but for a few sites, we were fogged or rained out.  That's the risk of travelling out of prime season.
