This site was recently deemed by Gargle as not having content worthy of being polluted by their ad-spam. Just as well.


I decided to add a section on wildlife. So far I have done a bunch of birds.


I added live tide predictions to the sites that are tidal. Also added a weather page with forecasts and current conditions.


I sprang for a WordPress plugin that lets me place live maps or satellite imagery in the website. There are three choices:

  • OpenMaps - excellent free street maps
  • GoogleMaps - not quite as good street maps from Google that may not be free
  • GoogleEarth - satellite imagery from Google that may not be free

I say may not be free because Google's terms are complicated and depend on the amount of traffic you get. I'm guessing it will be free, but I can't be sure yet. So far Google has not cost me anything.



Made my first entries in the new site.


Dragonflies

Eastern Pondhawk - female ( males are blue )

Dragonflies are aerial predators with a strong liking for water, so you are very likely to get 'buzzed' while out kayaking. They are harmless to humans. Dragonfly larvae are fully aquatic little nightmares. There are many kinds of dragonflies in the region, too many to list.
