Florida

Florida is another place that has relatively 'tame' birds.

We have now been to Florida three years running. The emphasis is to photograph the Ospreys, Herons, Egrets and Pelicans, plus all the other birds that can be found on the water/sea shores.

We have no interest in sunbathing on the beaches, though they are very nice for those that enjoy that type of thing.

Places visited on all trips to date are Venice Rookery, Fort de Soto, and Oscar Shearer Nature Reserve. On previous trips we visited Sanibel Island and Corkscrew Swamp Nature Reserve, but this time we went to St Augustine Alligator Farm and Gatorland in Orlando instead.

Very enjoyable.
