CANADA !

23 May 2013
We left Stanhoe for Vancouver. Not for good, just a holiday. Arrived Vancouver after a flight with Transat which used a plane without any headrest video (for 9 hours), Tom wasn't happy at all . touchdown in Calgary for fuel and off again. -
Still arrived in Vancouver late afternoon and had a look round the city.
 Into Stanley Park and some amazing huge redwoods.

Next morning, hire cars and off to the Ferry for the two hour crossing to Otter Bay on Pender Island, our home for the next seven days. Fantastic house and this Bald Eagle was our neighbour.

Red and Grey

1 May 2013
Both farmland Partridges today on way to work. The somewhat gaudy Red-legged Partridge
 and the more natural and subtle Grey Partridge
