Wildlife galore

I promised to show you some of my wildlife photos from Florida.  I whittled  a couple of hundred images down to 60 and then started to blog.  So be warned.  This is a photo heavy blog post today.

However I am expecting to remove some of them as I go along!

We visited the Ellie Schiller Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park which was basically a zoo.  The birds and animals are on the endangered list for the most part but we were unimpressed with how they kept the animals.  Most of the speicies were herd or pack animals but there was only one of each kind.   The birds had a much better deal.

 

 

 

There was a free boat ride back to the car park where we saw these:

And now back to the wildlife in it's proper environment.

 

 

You will have to take my word for this.  A photo of a mullet jumping.  Or rather just disappearing into the water having jumped!

It was very windy on the beach so the birds were all stood on the sand facing into the wind.

The birds are so used to humans that I had to run at them and make noises to get them to fly.

Well I managed to cut it down to 45.  Congratulations if you stuck with the whole lot to the end.
