Great Egrets - part 3

I thought I would end my posts from Florida in the way I started - with undoubtedly the bird of the holiday - the Great Egret! I love this magnificent, elegant bird and I loved the opportunity to see them close up in the wild, in their natural habitat. The first two posts were of photos taken on my early morning visit to Gatorland with the egrets building their nests or tending their eggs in the green vegetation of the marsh. These final images include flight shots, close ups and shots of a bird in a lakeside habitat, all set against a blue background of sky of water.

I hope you have enjoyed my photos from our trip to Florida. I'm sure you'll agree that there were plenty of opportunities for photography even though it was a family holiday. Goodness knows how many photos I could have taken on a photographic trip!! So if you go to see Mickey and Minnie - don't forget your camera!!!
