Update....


This is a mash-up of things from the recent past that we have been too busy to update properly.

New years and an owl rescue (attempt), a marathon on the west coast and a nice day of raptor watching along a river near town (spot billed ducks, ospreys and cormorants were our visual feast!).


These are us trying to help an injured owl; trying to put it back in a nest (it ended up being a...um...well...ok, it was a swallow nest, not an owl nest......we all make mistakes!) and below are some action pics of us finding it. Despite the brevity of this post, it was a most moving and sad moment.




Here is a view of the river bed we scoured (briefly!) in search of some ospreys and fellow birds.

Crystal coming in to the finish line in Caotun, taking 5th place. This was new years eve, which we celebrated in a hotel room because there was nothing else to do in caotun!

3 minutes?!? 2 minutes and 50 seconds off, but its a start.

Snow Mountain trip approaching....should be some epic pics from that jaunt.
