Horned Grebe
My Saturday Bird this week is the Horned Grebe (Podiceps auritus).
Known as the Slavonian Grebe in Europe it is a small member of the Grebe family. The global population has declined by 30% over the past 30 years while the North American population is down 79% and it is now considered a vulnerable species by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature.
This individual was photographed on a cattle watering hole in Saskatchewan, Canada in spring. The reflections on the water are a mixture of corral fence and stacked straw bales.

Wide Open Spaces
This is my contribution to the Cosmic Photo Challenge: In the big wide open spaces prompt.
I was considering a couple of approaches to the prompt before realising that there was one obvious choice, Saskatchewan, Canada.
This is my contribution to Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Rusty or Decayed prompt.
I thought of two very different photos taken many years apart.
A rusty tin roof on an abandoned crofters cottage on the Isle of Skye, Scotland.
A rusty license plate being used to reinforce a splitting railroad tie being used as a fence post near Punnichy, Saskatchewan, Canada.
