An Excursion to the Old World

I am a student at the University of Toronto (Canada), going on what was once called "the Grand Tour" -- a trip around the whole of Northern Europe (and, perhaps, in the near future, Southern Europe as well). My parents and I should be spending about 3 months on our tour. I hope you will enjoy reading about my experiences, and feel free to suggest places to go (or pictures to take).

Unknown English Songbird

This was the best picture I could get of this quick bird -- in the early morning light, it was almost impossible to get a good image.


I'll continue to drop in a few picture of the English birdlife as I can, among the rest of the posts.

We did see two foxes -- but both were too quick for us to catch on camera, so no pictures there (that is really a shame, since the red fox is a truly beautiful animal, very different from our own Canadian fox, which you can see in Algonquin).

We also, I must add, saw many Kestrels -- which are the only bird bigger than a hummingbird, to be able to hover. Unfortunately, they proved also too difficult to photograph, and the best I ever got was an image of one in a tree, far away.

Perhaps, when we head back to Scotland on the last leg of the trip, I'll have a better chance. Posted by Picasa
