I've just come back from St.Augustine, NE Florida (USA) where I was visiting the First Coast Birding and Nature Festival as a guest of Swarovski.
We had some rain and tornadoes come through but mostly we had sunshine and clear weather. Almost too bright for photographing white birds at the Alligator Farm, which includes an egret rookery with egrets and herons nesting at eye level from 2 - 30 metres. Here are a few of the 50 gigs of images I took in 4 days. Neil.
