Best of luck to the Great Lakes Marsh Monitoring Program frog surveyors who get to start surveying #wetlands. Frogs are starting to call in our southern portions of the #GreatLakes watershed/

An Orange square with a large photo of a teeny tiny orange spring peeper frog. The frog is in mid-call so that its vocal sac is so large its bigger than its head and almost translucent. The frog is sitting on a small piece of reed. Words are It's time to survey! and the Birds Canada logo is included.

Punting and fishing in deep blue and green

A view to the south from our lunch break spot between Battambang and Siem Reab. Wetlands are amazing rich in biological varieties, and gives some fantastic views and outlooks.

The gentleman in the wooden boat continued his rowing towards the small piece of wood with a fishing net connected to it. But just as he was to pick it up, he punted on towards shore.

The landscape in the countryside of Siem Reap is stunning in so many ways. This is one of those views.

Photo shows a landscape divided in three fields. In the middle is a derp green stretch of turf covered wetland. It stretches into the horizon were it is bordered by a line of green trees and bushes. The upper third is lightly clouded bright sunny sky. The lower third is a deep blue wetland lake broken up with bushes, grass and a wooden boat punted by a man. He has a couple of boxes in the boat, if they are for freight or storing of his fish catch is not known. A small wooden brick in the water marks a fishing net for fishing, and he is steering the boat in that direction. It is a peaceful, sunny day with strong colours in Cambodian wetlands.

A lunch break on the backroads to Siem Reap

They say in the old Norse book of wisdom and cultural heritage, the Hávamál:

“He craves for water, who comes for refreshment, drying and friendly bidding, marks of good will, fair fame if ‘tis won, and welcome once and again.

“He hath need of his wits who wanders wide, aught simple will serve at home; but a gazing-stock is the fool who sits mid the wise, and nothing knows.”

Wisdom is to enjoy and remember delicious food, good friends and a restful view. Knowledge is know how to get there and enjoy it.

This harmonies quite well with the Khmer view of food, friendship and enjoying a chat. And of course enjoy new sights and a break from everyday with a nice view while travelling. And bird viewing, come to that.

Enjoy the greener alternative

This backroad was consider a shortcut back when we were travelling there, bypassing the crossroads and queues in Sisophon in Western Cambodia. During the pandemic, a huge upgrade was done to the highway between Battambang and Sisiphon and National Road 5 and NR 6. It reduces the travelling time between Siem Reap and Battambang, and between the border city Poipet and Battambang.

The reason to take this backroad even with a new road, is the splendid landscape, the lesser amount of tourists and other travellers, and good food and drinks with a view to peaceful, yet lively, wetland area.

It is so nice to have choices when travelling.

This place is near the Kro Bao Village Peam Pagoda for those who want to see a typical village pagoda in the countryside outside Siem Reap.

Photo shows a small lake under a road bridge coming in from the left side. To the right is a an open yellow and green wetland area. The wetland stretches into the background, where it is bordered by a distant belt of low trees and bushes. Behind there are some roofs of houses, and a larger pagoda structure. Over it, being the other half of the photo, is a blue sky only broken by some light, white skies. It is a sunny, peaceful day under "endless" blue skies. This sky is mirrored in the lake in the lower part of the photo. There is an open wooden boat to the right just to the left of the road bridge foundations. In the middle of the lake in the lower part is a small area of grass and bushes.

Today was sunny with the odd shower, which made for some nice light and skies at Magor Marsh in South Wales.

Pictured is a sculpture of an 18th century 'brinker' - one who lived beside a 'reen' (drainage channel) in the marsh and was responsible for maintaining the bank. The brinker has nest boxes built into her pockets and was created by local willow-workers, Sarah Hatton and Melanie Bastier.

The sculpture described above is a large wicker-work figure of a woman in long dress and broad-brimmed hat, wielding a scythe to trim the banks of the reen. Her hat is just a frame, possibly picked clean of twigs by nesting birds. She stands in a small wooden-fenced enclosure, reflected in the still waters of the reen. Behind the figure, an open expanse of grasses and reeds is lit by the hazy afternoon sun, backed by a woodland of willows and other deciduous trees, and a distant wind turbine. A bank of low cumulous clouds, dark with rain, float in a blue sky, lit from above, depositing a shower on distant fields beyond the woods.
