This bird pitched up at a busy retirement village just 10 kilometres from my home. Life is full of surprises!

Brockville - There had been several reports of pelicans along the St. Lawrence River between the Quebec border and the 1000 Islands in recent weeks but most were one-day wonders. This bird stuck it out for over a week north of Brockville in a conservation area.

Williamsburg - I was surprised when I found this bird because it was in the same area that I had the female Kestrel a while ago. I wondered if it would be as cooperative as she was and after moving slowly along the road to avoid flushing it I eventually got quite a number of good shots. It was hunting the ditch, ignoring me as well as cars and motorcycles driving by. I watched it for 10 minutes being as close as 6 metres with my car. It didn't care. It eventually caught a small garter snake and flew off into the woods. Cool. This bird was browner than some. I later saw the mate which was a bit rustier in the breast markings.

An attractive little Warbler from the Mountain ranges in Sabah. This is my last shot from Borneo.
We flew from Sabah back to Singapore and crossed the border in to Malaysia proper where we met our guide and started another 10 days birding. Please see my trip report uploaded under the formum tab for more details or go to www.birdphotography-kenlogan.co.za

This large flock of Baikal Teal flew up and down the estuary but always at least 100 metres away- Most frustrating. But you can just make out their elaborate facial markings

A bird you will all be familiar with. We saw two vagrant Sandhills in Kyushu and one Common Crane. Just occasionally you get a Demoiselle and every 10 years or so a Siberian Crane pitches up - a bird I would just love to see

Ingleside - This bird was spotted about 10 days ago and has been tough to see but after successive trips I finally had luck today. While some migrate through Northwestern Ontario, only a very few make it further east and south each year. This was our first local bird.
