Florida Wildlife
Categories: Blog
I am no wildlife photographer but a recent trip for sailing to Sarasota Florida, it was impossible to ignore the abounding birds and beasts. The birds were so unafraid and nesting all over the boat park. An Osprey had a nest right beside the clubhouse and had even incorporated some jib sheets carelessly left about into its nest!! I didn’t have my best camera with me sadly but it was impossible to resist these characters.
